Synopsis
This is the third, expanded and revised, edition of the modern Guardian style guide, used by journalists at the Guardian, the Observer and guardian.co.uk.
Guardian Style will help you distinguish between so-called rules of grammar that are an aid to good writing and those that you can cheerfully ignore. It's also a mine of information, from the essential to the arcane, from the useful to the things that you never realised you needed to know. This new edition has been updated throughout to take in political change, the latest fads in cliches and the importance of online readers, with a section devoted to digital editing and blogging.
Wise and witty, irreverent and informed, Guardian Style is an indispensable guide to the use of good English.
'The Guardian has been my desert island newspaper for 50 years, not always for what it has said, but just as often for the way it has said it.' David Hare

Hardback. Condition: Good. Welcome to Guardian Style (2010) by David Marsh and Amelia Hodson (Guardian Books), ISBN 9780852652220 ? the book that proves the English language isn?t a living, evolving thing at all, but a mildly anxious flatshare where everyone argues about commas and nobody ever replaces the milk. This is the Guardian?s in-house style guide, which means it?s part rulebook, part cultural artifact, and part gentle scolding from a newspaper that has strong feelings about hyphens. It?s not a dictionary. It?s not a grammar textbook. It?s a set of decisions ? thousands of them ? about how to write clearly and consistently, in public, every day, while the world is on fire and someone has just spelled ?defence? with an ?s? The irony is that this looks like a small, sensible reference book, but it contains the kind of micro-authority that can start wars in newsrooms. Should it be ?email? or ?e-mail?? Which capital letters get to live? When is a quote mark guilty until proven innocent? What is the correct plural of any acronym invented after 1973? Guardian Style has opinions, and it is not shy about them. If you?ve ever wondered why headlines read the way they do ? or why some publications insist on house rules that feel like secret handshakes ? this is the backstage pass. It?s also, unexpectedly, fun. Style guides are full of tiny dramas: the constant battle between tradition and readability, the urge to be precise without becoming unbearable, the need to standardise without sanding off humanity. A good style guide is basically a museum of linguistic edge cases, and Guardian Style is no exception. You will find yourself reading entries you never thought you?d care about and thinking, Actually? yes. That is better. Or, alternatively, Absolutely not, and I will die on this hill. Either response means it?s working. And because it?s the Guardian, there?s a particular flavour: practical, modern, occasionally wry, and deeply invested in clarity. This is a tool designed for writers and editors who have to make choices fast, and live with them. It?s also the sort of book that quietly improves your writing through osmosis ? you start noticing your own habits, your own fluff, your own unnecessary capitals. It won?t just tell you how to write; it will make you mildly self-conscious in the best way. Condition: Good , meaning it?s done some service. A style guide in ?good? condition is a compliment: it suggests it?s been consulted, argued with, possibly used as a desk companion during moments of headline panic. Expect a bit of wear, but still perfectly fit for duty ? whether you?re editing copy, writing web content, or just trying to stop your sentences from wandering off unsupervised. Perfect for: writers, editors, students, and anyone who has to publish words for money, Guardian readers who want to see the machinery behind the prose, grammar lovers and punctuation litigators, and people who enjoy books that can make you feel smugly correct (even when you?re not). Sold by Crappy Old Books , naturally ? because where else would a newspaper?s style commandments end up, if not waiting to be adopted by the next person who wants their commas crisp, their spelling consistent, and their prose just a little less chaotic than the world it describes.
