I use this book in my work as an English as a second language teacher. It is one of several books I use.
Basically it is a set of grammar rules along with exercises. I find it valuable as it helps students to learn basic English language concepts. There are concise summaries of different parts of the language (e.g. prepositions, verbs, plurals, etc.) students can read. These are followed by exercises students can use to practice what they've read. For this, it is one of the best I've found (and I've spent a lot of hours in bookstores looking over material).
Teachers and students who use this book might want to keep in mind that it is dated in places and culturally biased. For example the exercise "The Right Word in ... Read More:

I found York Notes to be a great aid for my GCSE English Literature exam. The presentation is clear, it has notes on themes, language, characters etc as well as chapter-by-chapter commentaries. Personally, I preferred the Letts notes over this one, but that is probably due to personal preference and this is definitely worth buying.

i bought this book because when i was at junior school (yr 6) my teacher read this to the class, and i was encased in the story from then on, this is a brilliant story even if after you read it you're not quite sure what it was about. it isn't a very long book so it's perfect to read to your kids (those that don't scare easy) i am now 17 and still look on this book with fond memories.

I needed it for my Higher course, but when it came through the door i thought it was the wrong thing. I mean it has cartoons!!! But after using it in class i realised just how helpful it was. Theres loads of notes, and little passages describing whats going on (in plain English for those not able to determine who's just died, as there is a lot of that! I mean it is Shakespeare after all!!!). But it's still is perfectly acceptable for senior school studies,
It makes reading it almost as enjoyable as watching Leonardo DiCaprio splash around in that pool!

This book helped me pass my English Literature GCSE with an A*. It's very well detailed, and helps you to understand events and themes in the play, and link them together. There's a brief synopsis on the thoughts of the inspector, which helps you to understand the actions of the character. Also, this book is written in a way that makes it easy to pick up and want to read, and they layout is good for the visual learner.
