A Teachers' Grammar: The Central Problems of English
This book appeared in its first edition 30 years ago, from an academic rather than a language teaching publisher. It was a landmark of its time, and praise was lavished upon it by many, if not most, contemporary grammarians. This new, revised edition retains all the insight and clarity of the original text, but has been slightly up-dated in terms of content and re-designed to make the book easier to read.
Grammar (Resource Books for Teachers)Grammar, like death and taxes, is one of the few certainties in the life of a language teacher. It is the subject we love to hate. Many teachers feel uncomfortable with having to live with it, yet instinctively know they cannot live without it. For other teachers, grammar is the only secure point in the seeming chaos of communicative uncertainty, and they cling to it for safety. Whatever our feelings about grammar, it is clear that it is one (but only one) of the pillars which support a language. Without it, we are reduced to a kind of phrase-book pidgin. Yet the problem of just how to approach the teaching of grammar remains.

This book is out of print but I wouldn't say it is old-fashioned even when it was last published perhaps 20 years ago. It is the most complete grammar I've ever come across. It is also a very thick book; it has 1120 pages and, evewn when I don't expect you to judge a book by the number of pages it has, perhaps you can imagine how much information the book contains.
