Bill Sabin's guidance is solid and reliable and-surprisingly, for a style manual-a treat to read. Like a trustworthy pharmacist, he dispenses, in easy-to-swallow capsules, advice and answers to any question a writer could possibly have. It's obvious he cares about style, form, and accuracy. He provides no-nonsense rulings-along with enough examples of exceptions to those rules-to please any writer, whether amateur, academic, or professional. If you're writing a term paper, this is where to seek advice. If you're writing a brief to present to the court, open his book. If you're writing a scholarly treatise, Bill Sabin's advice is impeccable. He writes with wit and energy, and he's authoritative without being pedantic. Bravo!
(From quoting Mollie Newman, USA)

The Gregg Reference Manual is the single most useful grammar, usage, and style reference available for business professionals. I have been using it for years as my primary reference tool. The manual is very comprehensive, and the well-organized index makes things easy to find. It is updated frequently to incorporate current technology, which makes it invaluable in today's continually changing environment. The 10th edition was just released, so it is the most up-to-date book of its type around.

I was delighted to get my copy of the 10th edition of The Gregg Reference Manual. It is the one book I would never do without in my writing/teaching/ working life. It is the Settler of All Arguments, with an all-important, thorough, user-friendly index. I can find anything I'm looking for! It is my #1 reference for seminar materials I prepare for courses I teach (to legal secretaries, legal assistants, writers, and in-house training in law firms and other offices), for the hundreds of articles and booklets I have written, and for my book, Plain Language Pleadings (Prentice Hall/Pearson Education). I know I can trust this reference work, because its frequent updating is proof of the dedication of its author and publisher. I will never be without it, and if you do any writing - even letters - you should have this book at your desk or beside your computer.

As a written and oral communications trainer specializing in grammar, I need the best reference manual I can find for my students. After reviewing dozens of them for over a decade, I continue to give The Gregg Reference Manual by William Sabin an A+. It is the only one I recommend because it is so comprehensive in scope, easy to use, and simple to understand. The new 10th Edition with its attractive format and expanded treatment of e-mail takes an already outstanding book and makes it even better.
Working with varied groups as a grammar expert, I am concerned about receiving a question I can't answer. Thanks to The Gregg Reference Manual, that's never happened. I've found answers to questions about even the finest points of grammar as do my students. Regardless of the concept in question, the book is amazingly easy to navigate, thanks to its unique index. Unlike others, this one does not simply contain page references. Mr. Sabin references the numerous and detailed subjects in his index to distinctly numbered and lettered paragraphs instead. Those paragraphs contain both clear explanations of the related rules along with enlightening examples that serve to clarify rather than complicate the issues in question.
In my business, I have worked with thousands of corporate and government employees ranging from experts in English to those who can barely differentiate between a subject and a verb. Whatever their English expertise or lack thereof, I recommend this manual to all of them. Without exception, those who bought it are praising it for the reasons mentioned in this review and more.
Try it for yourself, and join the myriad of other satisfied users who say, "Gregg is great!" The new 10th Edition is even greater. |

As both an English instructor and the owner of a court reporting agency, I have found The Gregg Reference Manual to be the best and easiest way to teach punctuation, grammar, and style to my students and novice court reporters. The index is so phenomenal that it enables you to locate the answers to your questions in no time flat. From the beginner to the more advanced, with this comprehensive, organized, and easy-to-understand manual, you will find The Gregg Reference Manual to be an indispensable tool and won't want to leave home without it! |
