Amazon.co.uk Review
Whether you're a student struggling through an essay-based degree course or a professional writer on a quest for perfection, The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law is always ready to fill the role of trusted adviser to your creative genius. Revised and updated in 2000, this version contains a 40-page section on media law, guides for punctuation and bibliographies, and specialised glossaries for business and sports writing, all in addition to its 280-page generalised stylebook. Within each section, entries are in alphabetical order, and searching for a particular answer is a fairly simple process. Tricky words--those that can be hyphenated (know-how) or not (jukebox), homonyms, non-standard spellings (mo-ped)--are given their own short entries. Larger categories such as religions, military titles, the Internet, and datelines have multiple pages devoted to their explanations, but detail and clarity are brought nicely together in each listing. Many entries concern brand names and trademarks--never again will you question whetherpingpong or Ping-Pong should be used in the flier for your table tennis tournament. While a few sections of this book--the ones concerning media law, photo captions, filing the wire, and proofreading marks--will most likely be used by professional or student journalists and editors, the majority of this book is an excellent tool for anyone who ever has to write for the public. Whether it's a newsletter for your badminton league, a training manual for your employees, or a press release detailing your company's quarterly earnings, this stylebook will help you turn out well-written copy that gains the approval of every English teacher you've ever had. --Jill Lightner --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
