The Oxford Guide to Style ReviewThough some may believe that this guide is only for editors, publishers and writers, I insist that anyone who takes pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) buy this book. Clear and helpful, "The Oxford Guide to Style" (I know that this should be italicized, but Amazon.com doesn't seem to process HTML) logically breaks down stylistic and grammatical information. The lengthy index adds to the book's ease-of-use. Every section is clearly titled and arranged in neat paragraphs.
The only problem that I found was in the foreign language section: the guide neglects to insert a space before colons, semicolons, question marks and exclamation marks in the French section.
This is interesting to read or skim, and I continue to use it as a reference.The Oxford Guide to Style OverviewA completely rewritten edition of Hart's Rules for Compositors and Readers, which is currently in its revised thirty-ninth edition, The Oxford Guide to Style has been expanded to encompass modern issues in preparing copy for publication. Hart's Rules is a classic text in printing and publishing houses, and this successor to it is sure to become a classic also. It consists of 16 topic-based chapters giving advice on how to present the written word. It incorporates the most recent changes in citing electronic media, and details on submission of material for publication electronically. The text is full of explanations, examples, and lists on, for example, mathematical symbols, abbreviations and capitalization, and there is exhaustive information for editors on foreign languages and how to present them on the page. There is also advice on how to treat quotations, notes and references, specialist subjects, and indexing. As well as giving advice on the traditional skills needed in the preparation of copy and proofs, there is further information for editors on issues such as copyright laws and legal references. This really is the ultimate guide for all printers, book, magazine, and Internet publishers on the preparation and presentation of the written word.
