Reviews

You know if you must have a style manual. So my review is more for those who take an interest in writing and editing and are wondering if they should take the plunge and purchase one. Frustratingly, the ones in bookstores are usually wrapped in plastic so no clues from there.
My tip is, when you next have an important but not urgent task, see if your library or colleagues have one, and see how much the manual helps.
For the record, the 6th edition, from 2002, does not feel dated. I'm happy with mine.
