Grammatically Correct: The Writer's Essential Guide to Punctuation, Spelling, Style, Usage and Grammar

I have wanted to replace these books. I think they are essential in helping you write any and everything.

This product will be of assistance to anyone who is writing articles,books or even just business letters. It has been a great help to me.

The 3 books I've recently purchased via Amazon are far too old. I feel taken advantage of. Henceforth, I shall be buying books on line only from sellers who furnish the copyright & latest revision dates.

I recommend Grammatically Correct to every writer I know. It's unparalleled for its range of topics and ease of use.

Use it as a reference book to look up proper punctuation or read it cover to cover for a thorough grounding in writing rules. Stilman is easy to understand and provides plenty of examples.

My hardcover copy is flagged with post-it notes, marked with yellow highlighter, and heavy with paper clips.

Grammatically Correct is my first choice when I need to check punctuation, grammar, or word usage. A recommended book for any serious writer, the not-so-serious writer, and anyone looking for a complete reference source in one book.

Buy this one for the writer in your life. Especially if that writer is you.

It is not an exciting book to read but it was never intended to be entertainment. It is just what it says it is - a guide to punctuation, spelling, style, usage and grammar. As a writer of books and articles, I have myself reaching for this book often. I must admit that I have actually sat down and read this book from cover to cover several times looking for things I did not know or had forgotten. I would think that most sane people would never attempt to do that stunt at home!

I bet if I proof read this review against what the book would recommend that it would find fault with how I punctuated it and also with my style. In any case, do not use me as an example of how well it teaches one to write! Now you can see why I keep the book around and have to use it as often as I do. I think my book review makes the point very clearly that the book is indeed needed by writers!
