The Copyeditor's Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications, With Exercises and Answer Keys

摘要

To paraphrase Ecclesiastes, "of the making of editing books there is no end." Most editors own at least one such book; my wife and I, both editors, own more than a dozen, and Einsohn's book is a worthy addition to our collection. Besides discussing all the usual suspects (punctuation, hyphenation, grammar), Einsohn covers the basics of copyediting (tasks and procedures, essential references, relationships with authors), and provides copious examples and explanations of why something is problematic and how understanding the problem can lead to solutions.
