I admit, I'm a bit of a grammar-snob. Great info in this book, but it is so full of grammatical errors that I found it to be terribly distracting. On almost every page there is a significant grammar issue. It seriously reads like a rough draft and seems as though a simple proofread was just too much trouble. This sloppiness makes it difficult to have confidence in the author's authority which is truly a shame, as he clearly knows his stuff.
