5.0 out of 5 stars
The most comprehensive reference book available.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gregg Reference Manual/Indexed with Flap (Paperback)
I discovered The Gregg Reference Manual as a student in an Executive Secretarial curriculum at a local community college. It was a required textbook at that time. Not only did I come to depend on the book for everything, it has become a permanent fixture in my library of books, and I continue to use it daily. It truly sharpened my grammar and punctuation skills, and I now have excellent verbal and written skills as a result. It has been ten years since I purchased the book, and because the world has advanced in such a short period of time, I decided I needed a more recent edition. I began searching for the Gregg Reference Manual, but I had no success. I had just about given up when I discovered the Amazon.com website. I was really excited to find the book via website, so I quickly ordered it.

An excellent, easy-to-use guide to writing,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gregg Reference Manual/Indexed with Flap (Paperback)
This manual is really excellent: clear, succinct yet detailed, and very user-friendly. It is a much better guide for the everyday or business writer than the Chicago Manual of Style. In particular, its organization and layout make it easy to quickly find the answers you need. Definitely recommended by this average writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An absolute "must-have" for any type of writing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Gregg Reference Manual/Indexed with Flap (Paperback)
Well-organized, easy to use, up-to-date, and amply cross-referenced, this book is an absolute must for anyone doing any kind of writing. The guidelines for word processing and references to computerized documents makes it stand out from other books on grammar and usage. Besides basic grammar (punctuation, parts of speech), it also includes extensive lists of abbreviations, foreign expressions, words that sound alike, and computer terms, frequently misspelled words, and guidelines and examples for fax cover sheets, resumes, filing rules and proofreading.
