Revise GCSE in a Week: English
An exceptionally good value book from Letts. The publishers
say it is intended for GCSE students of average ability who are
trying to get at least a Grade C pass and who do not buy traditional
study guides, this English text provides the necessary facts, accompanied
by instruction on how they should be applied to typical exam questions.
Nice idea well produced.
In Early 2005 A Times Educational Supplement review
said of the series...
"GCSE in a Week is no diluted text book but offers clear,
sound advice. Real comprehensive revision books concentrate on exams
at low cost. Ideal for last-minute use. Highly recommended"

grammar and punctuation for GCSE and/or ESL students. Excellent

Teach Yourself English Literature
Guide: "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare
There are four or five good guides to Romeo and Juliet
for GCSE. The only two we liked were this one and the York Notes.
After looking at both in depth we couldn't decide between them,
so it comes down to price. This one gets the higher mark for being
50 pence cheaper.

York Notes Advanced on "Romeo
and Juliet" by William Shakespeare
Just as good as the teach yourself offering. Currently
50p more expensive, but if that changes, go for whichever is cheaper.
They are both excellent
