  • Essential companion for writers of fiction and non-fiction

    For business people, journalists, authors and editors, Harts' Rules remains the style authority of choice. Such a complete and handy reference on such a wide range of language, punctuation, grammar and the fading art of treating one's readers with respect. Thoroughly recommended.

  • Best writing style manual for UK

    This work is an outgrowth of the style sheet, then manual, used by compositors at Oxford University Press. This volume is probably the (justifiably) best-regarded, thorough UK work for checking even fine points of writing style. Some versions also incorporate a dictionary as an integral companion "volume", but an ordinary copy of the Oxford Conciser dictionary does just as well for that. My "yes" for recommending it and thinking the present purchase to be good value is, I think, unmistakable. My "yes" for the content being compelling may though be a matter of taste, since not everyone will simply want to read it from cover to cover... But even when complemented by online searches, a copy belongs on the shelf of anyone who has much occasion to write British (or almost any) English.
