Best grammar books for adults

[Shiznown]

I am teaching myself English from the ground up, since I was never taught properly in school. Can anyone recommend me some good books? I'd like books that provide a good amount of example sentences.

How has that been working out for you?
I see no recommendations here.

I liked Strunk & White's Elements of Style, myself.
It is more about...style than grammar, though.

Did you continue to study English on your own?

Grammar Land by M. L. Nesbitt was recommended to me. It is available as a pdf to download for free. There is also a youtube video of it being read aloud.

Well I am in an English class and could still use some help on grammar. College doesn't teach you English, they just have you write essays. Thank you both. I honestly forgot about this thread.

Grammar-land by ML Nesbitt mentioned above is excellent for an understanding of the parts of speech and their roles. It's presented as a courtroom story with each presenting their case. Definitely aimed at kids, but still a fun presentation. It has an exercise at the end of each chapter to help reinforce the point in that chapter.

We're in the process of moving. I'll try and remember to dig out some other recommendations once I find my text books (can't remember the exact details).
