Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		ALWD Citation Manual: A Professional System of Citation, 3rd Edition from Aspen Publishers Price: $26.06 Customer Review: The ALWD Citation Manual is better than the Bluebook because of its organization and its clarity. It truly is much easier to use than the competition.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Copyediting & Proofreading For Dummies (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) from For Dummies Price: $13.59 Customer Review: I just bought this book and already have learned so much i cant put it down. Lots of great advice from an expert. I already have checked out the web site she recommends and hope to get started as a freelance proofreader soon.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Associated Press Guide to News Writing: The Resource for Professional Journalists from Arco Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I love this book! As a working journalist for some national newspapers the sentiment here reminded me of what my editors told me when I started out. I also work as a writing professor and started using this as mandatory reading for my newspaper and magazine writing class. The basic premise of the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Elements of Legal Style from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $19.80 Customer Review: This book gets a 5/5 for substance but a 1/5 for style. To be fair, the writer of any book about writing has the heightened duties of the bomb-disposal technician or the internal affairs detective. Garner is fastidious to a fault and, given his audience, this is understandable. But the final... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		EVERYDAY EDITING: Inviting Students to Develop Skill and Craft in Writer's Workshop from Stenhouse Publishers Price: $16.65 Customer Review: I would pay triple for this book! It is one of the best teaching resources I own, and I promise you will use it over and over again. Think of this: Does a coach repeatedly show his athletes how NOT to perform a play? Does he swing the bat incorrectly over and over before asking his players to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications from University of California Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I was very pleased with the way this purchase was handled from start to finish.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Write Great Fiction Revision And Self-Editing (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: How-to books for writing come in as many variations as there are writers. Some are hype, promising you'll make $100,000 in your first year of freelancing or a $50,000 advance on your first novel. They promise much more than they deliver. There are also the texts which do provide some useful... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Phunny Stuph: Proofreading Exercises with a Sense of Humor from Cottonwood Press, Inc. Price: $14.93 Customer Review: This book has been wonderful to use in my 8th grade Language Arts classes as a daily warm-up. The students enjoy reading and correcting these funny stories way more than anything else I have tried. In fact, I ordered this book because one of my students was sitting with me as I previewed it and was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Hodges' Harbrace Handbook (with InfoTrac) (Hodges Harbrace Handbook) from Wadsworth Publishing Customer Review: I can receive the book within a few days and the book condition is great.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Understanding and Mastering The Bluebook: A Guide for Students and Practitioners from Carolina Academic Press Price: $22.50 Customer Review: First of all, no 136 page book is worth 22 dollars and change. I also have a problem with a book that teaches someone how to use another book, whereas the original book costs less than the explanation book. Why risk the explanation book getting it wrong (as it does; I second the appellate lawyer's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Lapsing Into a Comma : A Curmudgeon's Guide to the Many Things That Can Go Wrong in Print--and How to Avoid Them from McGraw-Hill Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Very fun piece. Recommended for the writer/editor/satirist, when Anguished English just isn't enough and Chicago is a little too much. Great with a martini.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage : The Official Style Guide Used by the Writers and Editors of the World's Most Authoritative Newspaper from Three Rivers Press Price: $10.85 Customer Review: This is a book which will tell you that using "data" as a plural is "stilted and deservedly obscure". This book essentially surveys the current mis-use of language and writes it down for all to follow. I expect they would have to issue a new version every year to keep up with the drift, which I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Essentials of MLA Style: A Guide to Documentation for Writers of Research Papers from Mariner Books Price: $8.80 Customer Review: The book is very useful & accurate for citing books and other print articles, but has no information on citing web pages, emails, or other electronic texts. It is based on the 1995 4th edition of MLA, while MLA is up to the 6th edition (2003)	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The McGraw-Hill Desk Reference for Editors, Writers, and Proofreaders(with CD-ROM) from McGraw-Hill Price: $14.93 Customer Review: This is an awesome book, and worthy to be purchased by anyone, not just editors or writers. I have the book dog-eared, underlined, and stars placed next to a particular item of interest. There was a gob of new information, and some great hints as well. This is definitely a book to consider for part... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Words into Type (3rd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $31.68 Customer Review: Essential book for any kind of editor. My 30-year old copy needed replacing. Where else to look but Amazon? It came in less time than predicted. A treasure to me.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Cite Right: A Quick Guide to Citation Styles--MLA, APA, Chicago, the Sciences, Professions, and More (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing) from University Of Chicago Press Price: $8.00 Customer Review: This may be a good reference book for those who have a working knowledge of this subject, but buyer beware, that's all it is. In the instructions regarding my first essay assignment, the professor said to "use MLA or APA." Having no instruction in English over the past 36 years, and no idea... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Online Copywriter's Handbook : Everything You Need to Know to Write Electronic Copy That Sells from McGraw-Hill Price: $13.57 Customer Review: the title is misleading, the content is poor, many examples but no explainings on how to create a similar good copy content is mostly copied from his other handbook dissapointment	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Getting the Words Right: 39 Ways to Improve Your Writing from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: Every time I reread a section of this book I learn somthing new about editing my fiction.
