A Handbook for Scholars

Rating:
Summary: Out-of-print? No surprise.
Review: I have yet to see any scholarly bibliography laid out in the way the author suggests in this book - or any practical examples in the real world of many of her other ideas. (Okay, so I am not a scholar, but I can sure as hell read.) I am very sorry I bought this book, though as artifact it is of some value for its astonishing uselessness. Strunk & White and MLA are good enough for me. They are obviously good enough for a lot of other folks as well. Theirs are still in print.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent aid in positioning your mind to write well.
Review: If you're a scholar, and are looking for something after Strunk and White, this is it. It is entertaining reading while pumping your brain full of all those little hidden rules of style that noone ever taught you.

Rating:
Summary: Read it before you start your writing
Review: This handbook has every rule you would like to know for your writing (article, book, thesis, even your curriculum vitae), as a scholar, I have to say.

This book doesn't deal with "how you should write your ideas," but with your questions about style, capitalization, references in foreign languages, and so on.

For Spanish speakers: La mayoría de las reglas de este libro pueden ser fácilmente "traducidas" a nuestro idioma (excepto, por supuesto, aquellas acerca de comillas).
