"Copyediting" confronts all the major problems most copyeditors face, together with such diverse aspects as word transposition, what to do with artwork, and how to handle permissions.

It isn't enough to know that you must use correct grammar, or substitute sparkling words for dull ones C you have to know how to deal physically with the manuscript. "Copyediting" tells how this is done, from the publisher's point of view, giving all the rules in a succinct, memorable style. The book can be used as a learning tool, a supplement to a style manual, or as a reference for experienced copyeditors.
