New York Public Library Writer's Guide to Style and Usage

The only up-to-date guide that addresses everyone who writes, from books and magazine features to newsletters, business reports, technical papers and brochures — with information on how to use computers in every stage of publication."A reference-desk staple....Its commonsense approach to documentation will help even scholarly writers." " — Reference Books Bulletin" "My 21st-century reference shelf starts here! Clear those outdated, insensitive style guides off the shelves and buy this thoroughly modern compendium...A sensible and sensitive authority from real-world editors." — Arthur Plotnick, Associate Publisher, The American Library Association, and "Author of "The Elements of Editing""

"A monumental editorial and stylistic achievement, required reading for every person who makes a living by use of the English word. This is the book I wish I had edited. It's a triumph." — Anne E. Soukhanov, Executive Editor, American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
