Summary: Administrative Assistant
Review: This is the best reference book you will ever find! I have taken my Gregg's Reference Manual 6th Edition to every job I've had until I found this updated version. It is the most user-friendly source for all your grammatical questions. You can find answers easily for rules that you don't even know how to begin looking up. It's also a great learning tool. Now, if we could just get everyone else to figure it out!

Summary: A good everyday reference tool, but...
Review: This manual is a great tool with easy to locate information and a wealth of information; it is not, however, the end-all of writing. It is a good business writing manual, but to an English student and editor, it falls rather short. For example, Sabin's advice on generic pronouns and gender may suit a business proposal with "his or hers" and "he or she" littering the page, but in the humanities, this is becoming less and less acceptable. Items such as this seem unimportant only until you need them. The GRM is a fine grammar manual if needed only for occasional use casually and in business situations, but for intense scrutiny, it wouldn't be my first choice.

Summary: Absolutely the best!
Review: This manual is absolutely the best reference for writing. It is incredibly easy to find needed information, which ranks it above other, more scholarly manuals of style. I have used one version or another of this manual for years now, and it still comes through when I need it.

Summary: Must Have Reference Manual!
Review: What a great addition to anyone's reference library. I have been an Administrative Assistant for 20 years and have used The Gregg Reference Manual (fifth edition) until now! The ninth edition far surpasses what I thought a reference manual could be: easy to read, well organized, spiral bound for ease of paging, and the world time zones map a great addition. Definitely, a must have reference. In fact, order two -- one for the office and one for home -- you can't go wrong!
