I am partial to Elements of Style by Strunk and White. It is a pretty compact guide to grammar rules. Several of my English teachers in both high school and college recommended it to me.

thank you very much. that book is great. I, however, need a more comprehensive book which cover all things from basic one to advanced one. I am a non-native speaker of English and my background is in engineering.

A lot of people on here recommend the Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction book.

Also, the delicious resource page on here has tons of information from beginner to advanced.

Basically, only study the elements that are tested on the GMAT.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
