The definitive work on the topic
My wife who has edited or translated over 250 books consults this book regularly. She tells me that people who know, use this book as their "Bible" along with the Chicago Manual of style. (For what it's worth, she prefers the Collins dictionary -- don't ask me which version! -- out of about 100 dictionaries she has.)This book is fairly pricey, some would say -- but it's worth every cent.

A Very Useful Book
I'm a fan of THE CHICAGO MANUAL OF STYLE, but this book about "the fine art" is an excellent supplementary help. I'm an old hand at editing and I recommend it highly. Here, thank goodness, is a book to introduce you to the business of editing. I found information on all aspects of the profession. The details on editing procedures and the examples of notes, etc., are particularly helpful. ...
