Here is a shit load of free grammar books. Public domain books are your friend.

No problem. It is considered a classic textbook on the subject. It is very long and also covers composition among other things; but if you are primarily interested in grammar, you can just read the sections on grammar and usage.

strunk and white and practice

Strunk and White is a terrible book. The authors did not understand English grammar. Please read this before ever recommending that book to anyone again:

>>8970743
As an example (taken from the article), Strunk and White states the following sentence is in the passive voice, something which you are told to "avoid."

"There were a great number of dead leaves lying on the ground."

Of course this sentence is in the active voice, not passive. The authors could not tell the difference. So someone reads this error and thinks they must "avoid" it (why?). This leads to nothing but confusion.
