Our Town Books: So many rules have changed since I was in school (a million years ago), and I wanted my editing to be accurate. This book is clear and very easy to use.

Linda Q. Thede: In the past I have spent much time trying to google answers to the complexities of punctuation, but it's all here in this one book. Plus the recognition that different audiences, i.e books, new, academic, and science often have different rules. No serious writer should be without this book. Not only is each topic explained with examples, but the second part is an encyclopedia. So glad I bought the paperback, it now resides right next to me when I am editing. Congratulations to the author who seriously researched all these topics and explained each in a very, understandable way. Thanks!!!

imo_tamekaimo_tameka: This is a great book if you want something for a quick answer. I am a writer and although I have the Chicago Manual of Style, it is a large book with a wealth of knowledge: that doesn't mean I want to use that hefty book every time I am unsure about something. So this is a convenient companion to that Bible for writers. Casagrande's rules and recommendations are based on: The Chicago Manual of Style, Associated Press Stylebook, Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, and Webster's New World College Dictionary.
She defines punctuation marks, tells you how to use them, then gives examples for how they are used in book editing, news media and business writing, science, and academic styles.
There is a useful Appendix with great definitions and examples covering parts of speech: clauses, phrases, sentences, and sentence fragments. A Punctuation A-Z chapter which is like an index or cheat sheet for further usage examples.
Also, in case you need more evidence of how invaluable this book is, she used the help of a panel of experts. They are professional editors, copyeditors, and agents.
This is a great book to add...

Tom Welch: This is a very good summary of common punctuation. I wish there were a way to contact the author on questions.
