The Best Punctuation Book, Period: A Comprehensive Guide for Every Writer, Editor, Student, and Businessperson Kindle Edition

So many rules have changed since I was in school (a million years ago), and I wanted my editing to be accurate. This book is clear and very easy to use.

So far, loving it!

In the past I have spent much time trying to google answers to the complexities of punctuation, but it's all here in this one book. Plus the recognition that different audiences, i.e books, new, academic, and science often have different rules. No serious writer should be without this book. Not only is each topic explained with examples, but the second part is an encyclopedia. So glad I bought the paperback, it now resides right next to me when I am editing. Congratulations to the author who seriously researched all these topics and explained each in a very, understandable way. Thanks!!!

I had heard many good things about this book. It was recommended in proofreading course I am taking and students said it was an essential tool to them. I was studying and practicing when the book was delivered. I looked up the book's explanation of a weak area, and I immediately benefited the first time I used the book.

Thanks!

The media could not be loaded.  This is an easy reference for all things punctuation. You can navigate to whichever punctuation mark you need just by fanning the pages a little.

This is a great book if you want something for a quick answer. I am a writer and although I have the Chicago Manual of Style, it is a large book with a wealth of knowledge: that doesn't mean I want to use that hefty book every time I am unsure about something. So this is a convenient companion to that Bible for writers. Casagrande's rules and recommendations are based on: The Chicago Manual of Style, Associated Press Stylebook, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, and Webster's New World College Dictionary.She defines punctuation marks, tells you how to use them, then gives examples for how they are used in book editing, news media and business writing, science, and academic styles.There is a useful Appendix with great definitions and examples covering parts of speech: clauses, phrases, sentences, and sentence fragments. A Punctuation A-Z chapter which is like an index or cheat sheet for further usage examples.Also, in case you need more evidence of how invaluable this book is, she used the help of a panel of experts. They are professional editors, copyeditors, and agents.This is a great book to add to your home library. If it had exercises at the end of each chapter, I would have given it 5stars.

I recommend this book. It is very easy to understand.

Excelente aquisição para todos aqueles que desejam melhorar a pontuação na língua inglesa.

I have a number of books to help me with editing and proofreading, as well as online resources. However, even though I've only had this book for a couple of days, it is now, along with Strunk and White, an essential item on my desk. Highly recommended.

OK

This is a comprehensive overview of punctuation rules in four different styles. Easy to look up the information needed and incredibly useful.
