I got it and it helped me very much. All you have to do is read it. Professor Avants did a good job to help me. If a person cant write basic English, he shouldnt even try the TOEFL. He will never understand if his grammar is not good enough. This book gave the help I wanted for writing. The symbols make so much sense if you just want help help help in writing !!!! There arent magic formulas but this comes very close. Then he puts them all in very easy examples to SHOW!!
