The Elements of Style: The Original Edition

9 reviews
William Strunk

Dover Publications, 2006

Simple, Yet Completely Necessary
I've had writing friends say that The Elements of Style is just too basic, too old-fashioned to be relied upon. As a writer who uses this book constantly, I say not so. Strunk offers up 52 pages of essential information for the writer in all of us. There are no endless pages of descriptions - just simple reminders of what we should already know and understand about how to present our writing ...

You Better Have It
If you're serious about writing, this book will be on your shelf and ear-marked. Just buy it. Personally, this is my favorite volume. The new sizing and texture appeals to me. And the pictures are pretty too. ;) Wolfe

The Elements of Typographic Style

Robert Bringhurst

Hartley and Marks Publishers, 2004

Classic foundational text in typography
I'm a type geek -- for which I make neither excuse nor apology. And while your garden variety Barnes and Noble or Borders will have plenty books on typography (and more on calligraphy), this is a must-have for the serious type nerds out there. Bringhurst's book is an elegant example of all he writes about typography -- it's a pleasure to read the text itself precisely because of its beautiful ...

AP Stylebook Advantages
Ron Marlar (a retired USAF officer, college professor, school teacher, living currently in Florida) A primary advantage of The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law is the ease of finding style standards for journalistic writing. There are many writing style guides. Some are general in nature. Others are more specific for special kinds of writing, e.g., college reports, academic ...

The Chicago Manual of Style

University Of Chicago Press, 2003

Chicago Manual of Style
Produced by the University of Chicago Press, the "Manual" is a classic standard for all book endeavors. No need to review this One. It's a major work of scholarship, not only for scholarly documentation, but also for "book making" and "book publishing."

Many examples accompany the explanations clearly ...

AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors

JAMA & Archives Journals

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

At long last, the go-to guide for medical writers and editors is revised
At long last, the 10th Edition of the AMA Manual of Style is finally available, and I am happy to say it was worth the wait. As an editor who has worked in medical journals, scientific Web sites, and an agency specializing in pharmaceutical advertising, I found the 9th edition to be, at times, a bit dated and not as easy to navigate as I would have hoped. Most of those problems have been resolved ...

APA Publication Manual is the Best!
There's no way I could be getting through grad school without this manual. I highly recommend this to anyone who is in college. It's straight forward and easy to use. The best section starts on page 306 and has a full-blown APA paper sample for reference. It's great!

Chicago Editorial Staff

University Of Chicago Press, 1993

Putting the Exceptions Where they Belong
As a freelance editor and typesetter, I find myself using CHICAGO nearly every day. At first, I thought it was unnecessarily thick and dense, but as I compared it to other style manuals, I found CHICAGO to be more comprehensive, thorough, and well-organized than others. As with any reference of this type, it will take the reader a little time to become accustomed to the order. A first-time user ...

The Book is OK!!!!
I liked this book! It's definitely not rocket-science! LOL! Seriously, I think it will give the reader some basic knowledge about developing thier own style. I must say that most of us who are not in the fashion business do not normally have a tailor on call, nor are we "international jetsetters!", such as Ms. Garcia.....who continually pounds us over the head w/her wordliness. I ...

urban guide to essentials
I love how this book simplifies, yet shows the most essentials about all parts of our wordrobe: shirts, pants, blazers, sweaters, accessories, etc. Photos compliment their very short suggestions. I like that there are many photos, not too much text. It's a great book for any guy who wants to look half-decent in the city. What was lacking was that it had very little informaiton on best ...

Bazaar Style: Decorating With Market and Vintage Finds

Ryland Peters & Small, 2008

BOHEMIAN SPLENDOR!
I love this look and find it a fun and easy way to decorate, HOWEVER, I caution those less adventurous folks to find a more mainstream book for reference. This book focuses on the flea market, ethnic look which is not a look based on balance or anything cohesive...it's an "anything goes" kind of look which is perfect if you are just starting out and trying to put a home together with odds and ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

what a fun process of self-discovery
Although I'm not yet done reading and working through the exercises, I am thoroughly enjoying the inquiry process and learning things about me I wasn't aware of. The colorful format and beautiful layout is exciting and inspiring. The book begs to be a book club book for women, or done with a group of friends. I'm having a blast and I look forward to sharing it with friends.
