Perhaps this may be useful to a grammarian, but other than that, how much use does it have being a style guide? ( ) If you want a dense, comprehensive writing and style guide, the Bedford Handbook may be what you're looking for. It's the most portable (yet helpful) style guide I've come across in my quest for a style guide to end all style guides (which I have not yet found!). It covers all those gotchas of the English language, ranging from punctuation, grammar, formatting, and even proper citations (in all the major association formats). Definitely a good guide for those interested in honing their skills in writing, especially those who face trouble in areas of grammar and punctuation. no reviews | add a review
The Bedford Handbook carries on the Hacker tradition by responding to student writers’ needs and to the way students need their handbook to work. Still a full-size handbook that doubles as a reference, the Handbook features clear, straightforward advice, hand-edited sentences, a user-friendly index, and a handy format. The eighth edition combines classic Hacker usability with a next-generation focus on academic writing and research and new navigation that helps students pull together advice and models for each assignment. Developed with the help of students and teachers at more than 35 colleges and universities, the new edition reflects the ways students write and revise in their composition course and beyond. What’s more, The Bedford Handbook remains a portable size; it’s still a comprehensive reference that’s as easy to consult as it is to carry. No library descriptions found. |
