4.0 out of 5 stars
Write with Confidence!,
By JRK "jkunz" (N.H.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Guide to Punctuation and Style (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a great reference for those just learning English or native English speakers who occasionally need to check on the exact use of an ampersand, comma or semicolon. The reference is divided in to the following sections: punctuation, capitals/italics/question marks, plurals/possessives/compounds, abbreviations, numbers, grammar/composition, and problems in word usage. I commonly find myself using this reference when typing professional letters, writing stories, or whenever I get confused on the exact use of a particular element of punctuation or style. It's a small book but contains tons of content and enough examples to compliment each section.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Tightly packed like a book on commas and semicolons and more should be!,
By Valda Wells "inspirational instigator and ico... (New York City, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Guide to Punctuation and Style (Mass Market Paperback)
The complexity of the subject(s) makes for a bit of confusion, but it is all in here. My copy is already dog-eared after only a couple of days in my possession and pretty constant use. It is much easier to use than the huge volumes of similar advice that once stood on their own tables at the local library. Already I have bookmarks throughout it.

This guide is not cute, sexy or fun. However, it has all the style and grammar guide you need. It doesn't try to amuse so its free to give you the rules and useful examples of them in practice. The price is excellent as well. I keep one copy next to me whenever I write.
