Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most traditional style guides are mere reference books containing countless tedious rules and reminders about SPUG: spelling, punctuation, usage, and grammar. The Ithaca Manual of Style is not about the fanatic obsession with correctness. In a lively style, the Ithaca Manual illuminates how professional writers write with precision, power, energy, and passion. From the book: "What is style? ... It is more, vastly more, than the sum of the diction (the choice and use of words), the syntax (the arrangement of words in phrases and sentences), and the careful crafting of sentences to transmit an idea or evoke a feeling. Style, in great writing, the sincerest expression of the author's inmost self." This expanded second edition boasts 45 chapters and 450 pages! This ebook in the EPUB format contains all the same information as the 450-page paperback -- at half the price! 100% Made with NI Natural Intelligence
