5.0 out of 5 stars Editing Canadian English - Second Edition - Revised, Updated, and Redesigned, April 18 2008

By	Trina Caines "tlc" (St. John's, Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is THE key reference for Canadian writers in all disciplines.

Having worked in marketing and communications and then transitioning into government policy research, I continue to use this as a reference for any questions I have. Their concordance table of spellings by particular dictionary (e.g. Webster's, Oxford Canadian, and a few others) is invaluable.

Anyone who does writing in any profession would greatly benefit from this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars A HUGE disapointment., Mar 27 2009

By	M. Demers (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I possess many style guides as I write for clients in Canada, the US, and the UK, so I often have to check and double check these regional differences as well as differences between press and book uses. Of all of my guides the Oxford Style Manual (for UK English) is the most comprehensive, and the Chicago (for US English) comes second. In comparison, Editing Canadian English is a joke, containing only a fraction of the information contained in the others. It doesn't even hold up to the comparatively ancient Canadian Writer's Handbook which I used in my university days and was hoping to update with this purchase. For one small example, the em dash doesn't even get a mention in this book yet it warrants a full page and a half in the Oxford. And while this may seem petty, trying to find out if the em dash is supposed to be separated from surrounding text with a space or not is the sort of detail I need to know. (For the record, Oxford, Chicago, and Canadian Writer's Handbook do not surround the em dash with a space but the Canadian Press Stylebook does.) Over all, I'd say keep looking for a better resource.
