 Actually, it's readable. May 23, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was surprised to find out that this book is actually quite readable, not just a look-it-up reference for editors and writers. The amount of information in this thing is astounding.

This book is the best. Much better than Words into Type which hasn't been updated since hot type was replaced by computers.

I am currently using my Chicago Manual of Style for law journal editing. It's a great comprehensive resource for style, grammar and usage. I don't know what I would do without it!

This book is a perfect purchase for the writer or academician
in your house. The work portrays word usage in the preferred
mode(s). Even foreign words are depicted. The authors recommend
when and how to use the language. For instance, there are
times when "about" is preferred to using "approximately".
Strict economy of vocabulary is practiced throughout. The authors
strive for simplicity as a generic goal throughout the text.
Sample letters and letterhead are provided to illustrate the
concepts taught by the authors. The work is worth the price
charged as a reference guide in formal academic writing of
articles, speeches, dissertations and a host of other settings
too numerous to mention here. The topical coverage of foreign
words will help to add depth to your written presentations.
The use of foreign words can be tricky. This work helps to
provide the requisite precision so that you can utilize
vocabulary correctly and in the intended contextual framework.
