Review
Review from previous edition: "For anybody working on a newspaper or magazine which does not have its own style book, for any author, for any freelance writer, this should be the first book on the shelf. It will stop you making an ass of yourself."
--John Jenkins, Writers' Forum November 2005
"Something of a bible...for printers in search of guidance."
--East Anglian Daily Times 07/08/2010
