## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by V***V on 3 August 2017*

Fascinating book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Both stylish and technical
*by P***K on 2 August 2008*

A lovely little book with a handle on style as much as technique - concise and to the point - the book itself is an exemplary product of the author's views: plain but not simple.

### ⭐⭐⭐ A good brief read
*by J***S on 12 January 2010*

Certainly a classic, full of wisdom and good advice. (Now I understand the difference between em and en dashes!) But it is all a bit prescriptive in its approach and tone - very much the American way of punctuation for instance without any acknowledgment of conventions in other English speaking parts of the world.
