Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Review of the Handbook of Contemporary Syntactic Theory
This book is absolutely brilliant. I found it totally invaluable (which is not to say "valueless"). Of course, I may be biased because I happen to be Mark Baltin, but I do think that this book is a must-have for every household in America. My wife says it makes a great gift.
