Destined to replace Strunk and White's Elements of Style, and a host of other desk reference books on carefuling writing, The Handbook of Good English is organized for both rapid reference to check specific points and for leisurely study to improve personal and professional prose writing. this comprehensive book covers syntax, punctuation, style, organization, and tone. Johnson does more than dictate the rules; he gives examples, exceptions, and more important, clear, easily understood explanations of why grammar has the rules it does. He also gives full attention to styling, the important matter of giving consistent treatment to numbers, abbreviations, generic terms, forms of address, foreign terms, etc. in good writing. A special feature of this book is the combined Glossary/Index, alphabetically arranged to give instant answers to the most commonly asked questions about misused words, phrases, and constructions, and cross-referenced to the text if a longer explanation is deire.
