Put it on your shelf, writers
After reading the entire book, I'd say the most useful feature are the checklists found at the back of each chapter. They often listed things I would forget, and that, right there, is more valuable than anything.

This is the text for an editing course I am taking. There is a lot of solid information in this book, and the exercises will push you to apply what you've learned. But the way it is presented and organized is driving me nuts. You can't tell where exercises end and text begins, and it's difficult to relate the various sections because of poor page layout. There are also inconsistencies in terminology and use of editing marks and just general sloppiness. Seems to have been written by someone who knows their stuff, but fired this book off on their home PC over a couple of weekends without much thought to organization and layout, then printed the pages on a photocopier. Oh, and didn't bother to edit it very carefully.
