Perfect:
It is the most reliable book in print today. I refer to it often and it has saved me from making several embarrassing errors. Ms. Schwager's style of writing is concise and thorough. Reading this book is more than an education, it is a delight.
To make a better medical writer...:
--- ...begin with the basics. The Grand Dame of usage among the ranks of the American Medical Writers Association, Edie Schwager has always demonstrated punctiliousness and precision as thoroughgoing as is her charm. A warmly-welcomed and well-beloved member of AMWA's Delaware Valley Chapter, Edie has always been the first person for whom I've looked whenever I've attended any of the Association's meetings. She educates without condescension and is patient beyond belief.
