The Economist Style Guide: The Best Selling Guide to English Usage
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Economist Style Guide
Seller: Book Express (NZ), Shannon, New Zealand
Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 144 pages. Dj fadedRare is the style guide that a person--even a word person--would want to read cover to cover. But The Economist Style Guide, designed, as the book says, to p romote good writing, is so witty and rigorous as to be irresistible. The book co nsists of three parts. The first is the Economist's style book, which acts as a position paper of sorts in favor of clear, concise, correct usage. The big no-no es listed in the book's introduction are: Do not be stuffy. Do not be hectori ng or arrogant. Do not be too pleased with yourself. Do not be too chatty. . Do not be too didactic. [And] do not be sloppy. Before even getting to th e letter B, we are reminded that aggravate means make worse, not irritate or ann oy; that an alibi is the proven fact of being elsewhere, not a false explanation ; and that anarchy means the complete absence of law or government. It may be ha rmonious or chaotic. Part 2 of the book describes many of the spelling, grammar , and usage differences between British and American English. While many Britici sms are familiar to most Americans and vice versa, there are some words--such as homely, bomb, and table--that take on quite different meanings altogether when they cross the Atlantic. And part 3 offers a handy reference to such information as common business abbreviations, accountancy ratios, the Beaufort Scale, commo dity-trade classifications, currencies, laws, measures, and stock-market indices . The U.S. reader should be aware (but not scared off by the fact) that some of the style issues addressed are specifically British. --Jane Steinberg. Seller Inventory # 1567g
