Book Reviews of Merriam-Webster's Guide to Punctuation and Style
Book Review: A bargain for such a useful tool
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price you'll pay for this book you can hardly afford not to have it by your side when writing, editing or proofreading. I use it for all three of the aforementioned tasks. While your computer may be constantly connected to the internet, sometimes it's just easier to pick up an actual reference book and find the answer you need.
In the case of this little reference book (just the size of a paperback novel) you'll discover it's easy to lookup your question in the index and then quickly find the information you need. They layout and font face that was used makes this guide read almost like a dictionary. In other words, it is designed for reading short sections and presents the grammar rules in a lean format that is perfect.
This book shares space on my desk with my Oxford Dictionary of Current English:
Oxford Dictionary of Current English
And also my beloved copy of the 11th Merriam-Webster's Collegiate dictionary:
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary
And as noted above... for the price you'll pay, the Merriam-Webster's guide is more than good value for your money.
