I want to take a look at it before I decide whether to continue with R&S next year.

How do I "look" at it--and then purchase it?
Thanks.

Usually they can send you a sample of it, you can call them and ask for a sample.

You can look inside Harvey's Revised Grammar at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Harveys-Revised-English-Grammar-Thomas/dp/0880620420/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1202527115&sr=1-1). This is very similar to Harvey's Elementary Grammar, so you should be able to get a good feel for it. I bought my books at Amazon as well.

Mom2one--who's "they?"

Chai--thanks for the Amazon idea, but I've been reluctant to order materials that have to cross the border.....that's why I really want to be sure about it.

I think I feel another post coming on....

You should be able to *look* at it Google Books.
You won't be able to download it, but you should be able to see it.
Of course the current publisher Mott Media might have made changes.
You could contact them for a sample.

I was able to download the entire book as a pdf file, using google's book search.

And just for reference, the current print publisher is Mott Media (http://www.mottmedia.com/).

You can download several versions of Harvey's Grammar as .pdf files at Google Books. There's even an answer key for Practical Grammar.

I hadn't known about Google books. I'll have to check that out. Thank you.

OK, Google Books has Practical Grammar by Thomas W. Harvey available for download, but not the Elementary Grammar. (Though the answer key is downloadable!)

SolaMichella--which book of Harvey's did you download? And do you have a link? TIA.
