I think that the particularly good thing about Bill Bryson's book is that it doesn't read like some kind of textbook.
It is particularly good for people like me who haven't studied the english language as an academic subject since the age of 15. (I studied maths - and once met one of my lecturers in the library - he said it was the best place to go to get away from the department as mathematicians never went in there.)
