5.0 out of 5 stars Well-done and easy to understand, May 9, 2004
By George Elliott (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Developing Proofreading and Editing Skills (Paperback)
If anyone wants a book that is easy to understand when learning to proofread, it's definitely this one. I loved it and have made it a part of my professional library. The author is very complete and thorough without being too redundant or superflous. I had bought another proofreading book through Amazon.com which was horrible, stuffy, and boring. Even though this book was a little more expensive, it was well worth the extra cost.

2.0 out of 5 stars Developing Proofreading and Editing Skills (workbook), March 13, 2009
The basic book is in pretty good condition. However, it was marked up, mostly in pencil, thank goodness, but also some pen. I have spent a good deal of my time erasing each page so that I can use the book. But, I guess I should be okay about it at such a low, low price! Thanks.
