M. Kay duPont’s first edition of this excellent writing style
guide has been my frequent companion for years. I’m delighted to see her
comprehensive revisions in this 2006 revision; they make learning grammar
and language usage simpler than ever.

Thank you, Kay! I appreciate
and need this book.
—Greg Creech, Chic 2B Geek
I've owned a copy of this book since
1984 and have referenced it literally thousands of times. It's easy to use,
you can find what you need quickly—and all with a touch of humor.

This is one
of the most
comprehensive,
easy to read
reference
books on
grammar and
basic
writing I
have ever
read. The
author’s
prose style
is light,
yet
confident in
her
knowledge
—simultaneously
making
readers
comfortable
while
convincing
them of her
credibility.
The writing
is also
compelling,
making for
an extremely
readable
book. The
interior
layout is
conducive to
easy
reference,
including a
solid table
of contents
and very
helpful
index and
glossary.
The
proofreading
section,
while basic,
is
straightforward
and easy to
grasp, as
are the
sections on
email and
letter
writing.
