5.0 out of 5 stars Double plus good, July 30, 2009
This review is from: The Penguin Handbook (clothbound) (Hardcover)
When I went through school all we had were drills and more drills. My participle was dangling all the time. By the time I got to college we branched out with such things as "Aims of discourse" and broke free of trying to force U.S. English into old Latin. Infinitives were made to be split.

But nothing in me formal education as prepared me for this animal. Yep now we can look at writing in a new way. The first chapter gives it away "Composing in a Visual Era"

I looked at both the hardback and paperback version. I found the paperback to be too unwieldy. I tested the book in places where I know the information and it was confirmed. So I feel comfortable learning the new information. The book is more geared to research and documentation from the web vs. my trusty dusty library.

Even if you are a professional there are plenty of eye openers in this book. I wish I had stumbled upon it earlier. Oh well better late than never (cliché time)
