Review of the KINDLE edition, not the contents, buyer be aware
I am giving the contents of this unrivaled reference 5 stars, but only 3 stars for its Kindle edition. Problems with the Kindle edition:- It is NOT an e-book at all. The book looks and probably is a verbatim copy & paste of their subscription based online web edition. That is, all the pages look like web pages, including (alas - non-clickable) URL links, subparagraph headings. The text does not reflow on orientation changes and such. It looks as if someone copied in his/her browser the web site pages, pasted them into the Word, then saved as an e-book.- There is NO table of contents. No, not that it is not clickable or defective in any way - it is plain absent. The book starts with text.- As you can see in my screenshot - all the brown colored subheads are not clickable (in the e-book). Moreover, they come every second "page" disrupting the reading experience. Yes, namely any other page you have just few lines of text with the rest of the page being again the same subheads.- As of now (September 2021) the Kindle edition is not available for purchase (I bought it in July) because of multiple complains on formatting.I rarely give low rating, but gosh, from Chicago University Press to see such a sloppy work ... have to give just 3 stars as I do read it, but it is a cover-to-cover type of reading.

O manual é generalista, então se aplica a toda publicação em escrito. Ele não é um livro focado em um tema só, como os outros materiais da The University of Chicago Press que são exclusivamente para edição/revisão, jornalismo, artigos acadêmicos ou literatura.
A qualidade do material é excelente, inclusive a guarda/orelha (que cobre a capa dura).
200 páginas falando sobre o processo de publicação de um livro ou artigo ou obra em geral, com notas essenciais para revisores e editores, incluindo processos digitais de publicação. 500 páginas falando sobre estilo e gramática, inclusive questões de como lidar com números ou com línguas estrangeiras. 230 páginas sobre referências. E um apêndice extra para procurar termos e navegar pelo livro.
O manual nomeia os diferentes tipos de regras usadas em inglês, até mesmo as incomuns, e possui uma seção exclusiva para o uso dos termos, quase como um dicionário. A linguagem vai direto ao ponto, esperado para um material de referência.
Vale muito mais do que eu esperava pelo valor. Se você trabalha com literatura, edição, revisão, tradução, documentação, jornalismo ou qualquer outra área envolvendo inglês, indispensável.
Fica uma dica: combine ele com o "Cambridge Dictionary of American English for Speakers of Portuguese", veja o "Writing that works" para melhorar sua linguagem profissional e faça todo o "Advanced Grammar in Use" (ou toda a série Grammar in Use, a depender do seu nível de inglês).
