"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. Unlike other books, "Copyediting" tells you how to copyedit. "Copyediting" covers the following areas: What is copyediting? Copyediting and Proofreading Symbols; Awareness Training; A Review of Punctuation and Grammar; Spelling, Capitalization, and Hyphenation; Style and Word Usage; Numbers and Abbreviations; Notes and Bibliographies; Typemarking and Keying; Other Aspects of Copyediting; Specialized Copyediting; Proofreading; Getting Work; and Things No Copyeditor Should Be Without. 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. In addition, authors can use it to edit their material, university students can use it to polish their theses, and all other with the urge to write can use it to improve their work. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
