Throughout the Twentieth Century, The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors and Hart's Rules grew to be indispensable sources for all those who deal with the written word. Now, for the first time, The Oxford Style Manual combines in one volume these two classic reference books in their latest forms: the second edition of The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors, and The Oxford Guide to Style (the new Hart's Rules). Together, they offer unrivalled guidance on words and how to treat them. Containing 16 topic-based chapters on every aspect of words in print, this one-stop reference includes information on abbreviations, capitalization, punctuation, and scientific and mathematical symbols. The book provides clear advice on how to treat quotations, illustrations, tables, notes and references, specialist subjects, and indexes as well as information on foreign languages. Completely up-to-date, this resource also offers help with recent issues such as citing electronic media, submitting material for online publication, and current copyright law. With short alphabetical entries that provide easy-to-follow guidance on specific writing conundrums (such as difficult or unusual terms and common spelling problems), this comprehensive and reliable guide is the handbook no wordsmith can afford to be without.
