Review
'A Fowler for our time' Books 'Highly recommended... an essential tool... my preferred textbook for determining correct English usage.' Translating Today 'The coverage is surprisingly and gratifyingly complete in a modestly sized (and priced) volume, all laid out in a clear alphabetical format. The contents, too, are very practical and very helpful...' Reference Reviews 'This fully revised guide provides instruction on fighting for usages that make what one has to say and write more accurate, original and pithy.' The Good Book Guide
