Hodges Harbrace Handbook:

The 70th-anniversary version of the Hodges Harbrace Handbook is the 18th edition of this fine work.[13] This grammar book has the longest history of any grammar handbook on the market. The Hodges Harbrace Handbook was produced by John C. Hodges in 1941. In 2012, it was one of the most widely used grammar textbooks and at the time it was estimated that 15 million students had used it.[14]

“Hodges created a clear taxonomy, with a simple numbering system for writing concepts and standardized usage,” said Cheryl Glenn, co-author of the eighteenth edition of The Hodges Harbrace Handbook. She is a liberal arts research professor of English... at Penn State. “As students’ needs have changed, both in the way they learn and receive information, so has the handbook, all while remaining true to the original template.

“Every successful handbook in America has copied the Harbrace Handbook. It may not have been the first English grammar handbook, but it became the first continuously published one.”

The entire family of Harbrace handbooks has evolved to reflect important cultural developments, including the digital age.
