I read the first chapter of this book. It was long and tedious, filled with the proper usage of grammar and writing mechanics. And while I felt like it was pertinent information, it was hard to get through. Since it wasn't talked about or used in the class I was taking I gave up reading it. It also confused me a little because I have been learning the MLA format and this is the format for journalism and they have slightly different rules. I wouldn't recommend.

A fantastic resource for anyone who writes for a living or aspires to. This would be a must-have book even if it contained only the chapter with a list of words that often cause people to wonder if they're one word, two words or hyphenated.

As essential as the AP Stylebook.

Great reference book for journalistic writers. Love the A to Z lists for different topics.

Everything that Strunk and White is not. You go, Brian Brooks. I used this when I went to Mizzou and it still sits on my desk at the newspaper I write for.

Awesome!

This book was so helpful when writing in my media class! I would recommend to any student or writer in general.
