Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law

Book Review: Every college freshman should own this book
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a simple fact of life that good writers advance in the corporate world. These days it is simply not enough to have a good verbal command of the Queen's English. Good writers use clear and simple rules to communicate and convince. Lawyers, doctors, investment bankers, teachers, public administrators and politicians regularly reach out to others in the written form. For sure, the ability to convey a powerful message cannot be underestimated in today's competitive business world.

The "Stylebook" has it all. It includes a A to Z listing of guides to capitalization, abbreviation, punctuation, spelling, numerals and more importantly usage. It will also help someone with weak or little knowledge of sports...there are plenty of explanations of sporting terms. For instance, what is the difference between a rabbit punch and a kidney punch? Check out this text and you'll find out. However, the best feature of this book is that it will help all writers with solid guidelines on how to treat complex terms. You don't have to be a journalism major or work for a newspaper to appreciate this book. Highly recommended for the parent of a college bound student who wants his or her kid to have an edge.
