Summary: A helpful book for those who want to improve their english
Review: I've just got this book, and when I saw it at first time, I thought I'd thrown my money away. It's kind of small, and you can even think it isn't worth its prize. Well, I was wrong. It explains how to use and distinguish all the prepositions, making use of really helpful examples. I highly recommend this book for those who want their english to get really better. But there's only one thing to say: this is NOT a book for those who want to LEARN english. It is an advanced book.

Summary: The Best Book on English Prepositions for ESL Students
Review: Most ESL students have trouble with their use of prepositions. They sometimes do not know which preposition to use, like "in the corner" or "at the corner".

I, as an ESL teacher, have had a hard time trying to teach students how prepositions should be used. I have not managed to produce good results so far. But from now on, I have a great help.

This book starts with "Introduction" and "Orientation". After them, in each chapter some prepositions are discussed, such as "on vs in", "by vs near", "for vs to". Using iconic and pictorial illustrations of usage of prepositions makes it easy to understand their images or meanings. Most of this book is written in plain English so that ESL students can use this book by themselves. Of course ESL teachers will find this one quite a good book.
