`At less than a tenner this is the best investment that anyone who
writes at least semi-regularly will need. It should be compulsory
for school sixth formers (the two pre-college/university years).
Having got it they might be advised to re-read it every six months
for the next five years to ensure that its messages really sink in,
and then they will be set up for life. Get this book.'
Concatenation
`One that every writer should study.'
Writing Magazine
`Review from previous edition 'An excellent book ... indispensable
to anyone compiling a style guide ... The multitude of real-life
examples
demonstrating the practices described make the book equally useful
to experienced writers checking specific points and to novices
needing broader guidance.''
