Reviews

[Karen Perkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic reference book for every writer and/or editor - this book makes it very clear whether words should be hyphenated, two words or one and details the difference in spelling between UK and US English. Invaluable!

[Amanda Clothier · Rating 4 out of 5]

An absolute must for essay writers. Generally very clear, but there were some ambiguities when getting right down to details.
