This review is from: Art of Editing, The (Hardcover)
I used the first edition of this text in college back in 1972, and still have my copy. Now as an instructor I am using the 6th edition and am looking for a change. This book lacks three things; internet, internet, internet, and until it is brought up-to-date, it is not worth the price. It galls me that a book like this can seem to live forever while gouging undergraduates with poor revisions, and "new" editions designed solely to sell more books. Right now there are better books at half the price. I'm moving on.{This review refers to the 1996 edition.}

This review is from: Art of Editing, The (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
For a book that cost me $93.00, I was expecting something wonderful. Instead I found three blatant editing errors (one of which would have easily been corrected had someone hit "spell check" before sending it to the printers) within the first couple of chapters, and more as I went on. The book was boring, badly edited, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
