 Grammar, punctuation, and writing style books
 Recommended vocabulary and English language books
A word (velleity) in Bill Bryson's superb Mother Tongue ignited my love of words and led to me writing my own book about the gems of English, From Afterwit to Zemblanity: 100 endangered words brought to life (UK edition) or Endangered Words: A Collection of Rare Gems for Word Lovers (US edition). Both books are listed below, along with my other favourite books about English words, and my favourite dictionaries and thesaurus.
