Fernando Chueca, TESOL Spain Newsletter 33/1, July 2009 (see review) While [this book] is clearly aimed at the Spanish-speaking learner of English it is also valuable for the teacher of English working in a Spanish-speaking environment [it highlights] many of the false friends which exist Translations show the learner what words do, and, equally importantly, do not mean with a wealth of real-life examples which are sometimes humorous, the book is very readable There is certainly a gap in the market for such a book of all the many English language books I have on my bookshelf, this is the only one that has a long waiting list of Spanish-speaking friends wanting to borrow it.

In the authors alphabetically arranged detailed content one can only admire the spirit of Dr Johnson it will help out when dealing with potentially awkward customers, or those keen to try out a new teacher. Wayne Trotman, ELGazette, January 2009 (see review of earlier edition) When you start reading it, you are reminded of Modern English Usage by Fowler; however, in this case Peter Harvey is dealing with the reality of the foreign learner and what that learner wants to know A Guide to English Language Usage is a good reference book for all of us who are teaching and for advanced students as well. It is worth having in our libraries. It is very practical, having been written by a teacher who knows his trade, and is highly recommendable. Liliana Russo, TESOL Spain Newsletter 34/1, July 2010 (see review of earlier edition) Not just a reference book explaining the intricacies of English grammar, but also a source of entertainment for the language-lover, covering numerous areas of the culture of the English-speaking world.
