I attended a seminar and was introduced to this book. It contains the answers to any questions I have had or may have about using appropriate words and/or punctuation when composing letters. I did not want to spend $59.95 for the book, so I was very pleased to find the exact publication on Amazon for half the price I would have paid at the seminar.
Pretty good but not great:
I got this on the recommendation of other professional writers at a training seminar. I use AP style in my job but it doesn't always fit since we're not writing news items for the wire. A big selling point is that it comes with a CD with most of the content so you can install it on your computer and search digitially. However, I have been somewhat disappointed in that the few things I have looked up did not give definitive rules, but more like "Here are the options you can choose, just be consistent."... more info
Incredible style guide with CDROM:
I'm an instructor / developer with a large midwest insurance company. In that role, I teach writing skills to our employees. While I have many other style guides, this book by FranklinCovey is a delightful surprise. It has 440 magazine quality pages with vivid color illustrations, side bars, explanations, definitions, descriptions, and examples. If you're looking for a comprehensive style guide that you'll be happy with on your first purchase, make this book your first choice.
Franklin-Covey Style Guide Review:
Since purchase in September, I have used my style guide almost daily and find it extremely useful in job as a technical/proposal editor.
