The Gregg Reference Manual
What a great addition to anyone's reference library. I have been an Administrative Assistant for 20 years and have used The Gregg Reference Manual (fifth edition) until now! The ninth edition far surpasses what I thought a reference manual could be: easy to read, well organized, spiral bound for ease of paging, and the world time zones map a great addition. Definitely, a must have reference. In fact, order two -- one for the office and one for home -- you can't go wrong!

great book a lot better than I excepted. It is now being used in class. quick shipping. very happy. looking for more from that author and related material.
The Gregg Reference Manual
This is the best style manual for advertising copywriters on the market. There may be a new edition that supercedes this one by the time you read this. if so, I would buy it without reservation. I find myself reaching for this time and again when I write. Highly recommended.

The Gregg Reference Manual
This manual is a great tool with easy to locate information and a wealth of information; it is not, however, the end-all of writing. It is a good business writing manual, but to an English student and editor, it falls rather short. For example, Sabin's advice on generic pronouns and gender may suit a business proposal with "his or hers" and "he or she" littering the page, but in the humanities, this is becoming less and less acceptable. Items such as this seem unimportant only until you need them.The GRM is a fine grammar manual if needed only for occasional use casually and in business situations, but for intense scrutiny, it wouldn't be my first choice.
The Gregg Reference Manual
Since 1980, I have been recommending this reference to over 23, 000 participants in my business writing workshops. I describe the book as invaluable, comprehensive, beautifully organized, and continuously updated. The Gregg Reference Manual is one of two essential tools for business, government and corporate writers: the other is a fat dictionary. The Manual is full of wisdom and articulates sound uniform rules with nicely nuanced exceptions. It is simply my writer's crutch.
