A Very Useful Book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fine Art of Copyediting (Paperback)
I'm a fan of THE CHICAGO MANUAL OF STYLE, but this book about "the fine art" is an excellent supplementary help. I'm an old hand at editing and I recommend it highly. Here, thank goodness, is a book to introduce you to the business of editing. I found information on all aspects of the profession. The details on editing procedures and the examples of notes, etc., are particularly helpful. Surprisingly, the concise manual of style in this book tells all you need to know to start right in editing.

Not what the title promises,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fine Art of Copyediting (Paperback)
This book is more about getting along with the people you work with than about copyediting. The author goes on at length about bolstering an author's ego but devotes only a few pages to the symbols of editing and how they are used. There are few examples or exercises. For those who actually wish to learn about the actual job I recommend Copyediting by Karen Judd or Style and Substance by Mary Stoughton. Both are excellent and contain many exercises and examples.
