When I was in college, The Gregg Reference Manual was referred to by the professors as "The Bible". Just like the title says, it covers all the bases for all your writing needs at least on the business level of Style, Grammar, Usage, and Formatting. The book gets better with each edition adding new things to keep up with the technology of today's world. My favorite section of the book it the words that sound alike but spelled differently. Whenever I am not sure which word to use, like "Affect" and "Effect", I head to the GRM. If I am not sure on term papers or reports, I head to the GRM. It is a great book for secretaries and administrative assistants. They have added new sections to keep up with computer usage as in my days of high school and college, we were using manual and electric typewriters and computers are now the basic source for typing correspondence, reports, and all the computer software used in today's business world. I will always buy the latest edition, even though earlier editions, they only change a few words or things, but this is the best reference book to have in your library like a dictionary and thesaurus is.

This was ordered to update my older version (1974). Still the most complete reference manual I have ever found if you work in an office and need to get to the nitty gritty when working with composing documents and doing transcription for other people.

I needed this book for a class in business communication, and I have to say it is an amazing book!! If you enjoy writing, reading and literature this book (manual) is a must. Basically it has the correct way to write anything. For example, is it am, AM, a.m or A.M. (as in 10 am)? Do you capitalize the word "senator"? This book literally has thousands (or is it 1,000's) of rules and examples! Well worth the cost.
