Well-done and easy to understand,
By George Elliott (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Developing Proofreading and Editing Skills (Paperback)
If anyone wants a book that is easy to understand when learning to proofread, it's definitely this one. I loved it and have made it a part of my professional library. The author is very complete and thorough without being too redundant or superflous. I had bought another proofreading book through Amazon.com which was horrible, stuffy, and boring. Even though this book was a little more expensive, it was well worth the extra cost.

This review is from: Developing Proofreading and Editing Skills (Paperback)
This 4th editon icnludes a CD Rom with applications and review modules. I consider this to be an important resource for developing self editing skills as well as for offering meaningful constructive critiques with our local writer's group. I appreciate the comprehensive exercises, the user friendly chapter format with higlighted tips, (including software tips)and net links.

Condition of Book Not as Advertised,
By Lisa G. Corso (RIVERVIEW, FL, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Developing Proofreading and Editing Skills (Paperback)
I received the used book, and CD in prompt timing; shipping was quick. However, my only complaint is the seller stated that there were no "marks" in the book. Practically every exercise had answers written in pencil, making it difficult to use the book's pages as homework. They are "tear-out" pages just for that. As a result, I retyped most of the homework, just because, the answers already written on the textbook were not my homework. Aside from that, everything else was truthful, and the price was very affordable. But if you've written in the book that you are selling, just say so!
