Recommendations for book on grammar

[Lorralorralaffs]

hello

Please could you recommend what you consider to be the authoritative text on grammar and punctuation? Or one of the authoritative texts?

I’m looking for something that perhaps an editor, barrister or English professor might use.

Thank you!

Fowler's is usually considered the authority for British English. Here's a link: https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/acref/9780199661350.001.0001/acref-9780199661350

Broader than just grammar and punctuation but this is the most well-known book on what could loosely be called 'good writing' and covers both.

Great, thanks both!

Pleasure! By the way I was posting quick on the run to arrive somewhere, I posted what seems to be an expensive edition, you can get it much cheaper than that - cheaper editions but also lots of 2nd hand available- it's a very slim book, no need too spend a tenner on it! 🙂

Good call!
