Summary: Complementary Reference Book
Review: Sure, The Copyeditor's Handbook is full of information and advice for copyeditors, but I read it as a writer trying to learn more about the process and procedures of editing my own work. And for that I am grateful to Ms. Einsohn. In the process of writing, revising, writing some more and revising again, the editing procedures and formalities I garnered has help me become a better writer. I review my drafts in a different light, understanding now the editor's decision to move a sentence or a paragraph to make my writing clearer.This book sits between my Chicago Manual of Style and Elements of Style, each complementing the other. The author's style is lively and won't bore you, while the excercises are great because the answers are in the book. Try it, you'll like it.

Summary: A comprehensive guide for any editor
Review: This book is a wealth of clearly presented information. People considering copyediting as a career should certainly invest in a copy. I heartily disagree with the reviewer who gave it one star; rather than being too liberal, Einsohn succinctly presents the reader with a broad spectrum of opinions on common disputes about grammar and punctuation, allowing readers to make their own decisions. The book contains an excellent explanation of what copyediting is, how to copyedit your first manuscript, how to typecode manuscripts, what to expect from authors, etc. I found Einsohn's exercises and detailed answer key extremely useful.

Summary: A clear waste of money.
Review: This was one of the most difficult books I have ever read. I wish I had not ordered it as it was not helpful to me. I would not recommend this book to anyone as the wording is very advanced and not for everyone.
