Gregg Reference Manual: The Easy Way!

by Peggy M. Houghton, Timothy J. Houghton, Michele M. Pratt (Editor)

Students seem to have similar questions and misunderstandings when it comes to following a particular style's prescribed format. What is the proper punctuation? Which type of business document should be utilized? What is the correct format style? How are notes and bibliographies cited? How is a table formatted properly? In response, the authors developed this book to simplify the writing experience for students adhering to the rules for writing in this particular format. The intent of the handbook to is supplement The Gregg Reference Manual (10th edition). It is provided as a condensed version of the actual manual. It is not intended to replace the manual but rather to reduce its length and complexity, making it easier for students to reference common writing issues.
