5.0 out of 5 stars
It's only a bit ironic that this book is only available on a US site!,

This review is from: Editing Canadian English - Second Edition - Revised, Updated, and Redesigned (Hardcover)
This book, Editing Canadian English 2nd ed. (2000), is an extremely useful guide for those of us who write or edit in Canada, and as far as I know the *only* copyediting book written from a Canadian perspective and for a Canadian audience. It doubles as a grammar textbook, in that it gives the basic errors that most of us make while we write (capitalisation, spelling, punctuation, etc.), but it also includes chapters on bias, Canada-specific measurements, documentation, editors & the law, and including French words in English writing. It's an immensely useful sourcebook for any Canadian who works with words on a regular basis.I'm quite surprised that the book is available for sale here, given that the company which produced it was bought-out and the book hasn't been in print for over a year. So, if you've ever thought about buying this book, GET IT NOW while it lasts!
