Huddleston, Rodney, and Geoffrey Pullam. The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002.

This massive tome is a comprehensive and highly technical review of English grammar. Invaluable to the serious linguistic researcher, it is not intended for the casual user or even most professional writers.

Get it from Amazon.com or fine bookstores everywhere.
