Writing with Style: Conversations on the Art of Writing (2nd Edition) 17 reviews
John R. Trimble
Prentice Hall, 2000
This book taught me how to find my voice
I was fortunate enough to be a student in Dr. Trimble's American Liturature class at the University of Texas in 1989. Before I took his class, my writing was poor and insincere. I did not know how to use my own voice in my work.
After reading his book several times--and finally "getting it", I improved my writing significantly. I am a more successful person because of this book.

The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law20 reviews
Norm Goldstein
Basic Books, 2007
The supreme authority!
I have used the AP Stylebook for over 5 years. The entries are easy to find and easy to understand. Entries are brief and to the point. Are the seasons capitalized? How about north, south, east and west? Where do you place adverbs - before or after the verb, or someplace else? It's Web site - two words and the first one is capitalized. Internet is capitalized because it's a proper noun.

The Elements of Style: The Original Edition9 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 ...

The Chicago Manual of Style97 reviews
University Of Chicago Press, 2003
The Book of Armaments
This indispensable volume is one of the finest books written for writers and editors of all time. One of its nicest features is that it is actually a joy to read. I particularly enjoy this version due to its added usage guide. I eagerly anticipated its release (to the point of pre-ordering it) and have been well rewarded with its purchase. I would recommend it for anyone who wishes to do "well" ...

Great Buy
I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices.

The Little Black Book of Style 40 reviews
Nina Garcia
Collins Living, 2007
A Lovely and Inspiring Book!
Out of all the books on fashion I have read, this is best hands down. Unlike many other books on style, the author succeeded on articulating intelligently just exactly what style is about. All the advice was clear and so true. I originally borrowed this book from a friend but I later bought this book; love it!

APA MANUEL fifth edition
The best thing that I ever did was to purchase the APA Manuel.
It has helped me with formating and the proper way to cite in text and referance in APA format. This book is much better than the Diane Hacker book on APA.

Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace (9th Edition)47 reviews
Joseph M. Williams
Longman, 2006
An Excellent Guide and Workbook
Even a brief browsing of Joseph Williams's STYLE: LESSONS IN CLARITY AND GRACE, ninth edition, would persuade most readers that this book makes the much touted Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" look simplistic. If the seductively slender "Elements"--easily read in a day, no exercises to do--could deliver its claim, by the end of the day there'd be millions of excellent writers. Besides, ...

Gotham, 2007
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 ...

This purchase was required by my grad school program. I am taking a class with a psychotic ex-English teacher. For instance we had to take a 35 question quiz on APA (I received a 34/35 thank you and thanks to this book:-) and it was an Intro to Teaching course...but anyway that is another story.
I was actually glad to have this book though once it arrived because it's everything, and I mean ...

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.

AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors5 reviews
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 ...
