hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Welcome to Guardian Style (2010) by David Marsh and Amelia Hodson (Guardian Books), ISBN 9780852652220 ? the book that proves the English language isn?t a living, evolving thing at all, but a mildly anxious flatshare where everyone argues about commas and nobody ever replaces the milk. This is the Guardian?s in-house style guide, which means it?s part rulebook, part cultural artifact, and part gentle scolding from a newspaper that has strong feelings about hyphens. It?s not a dictionary. It?s not a grammar textbook. It?s a set of decisions ? thousands of them ? about how to write clearly and consistently, in public, every day, while the world is on fire and someone has just spelled ?defence? with an ?s? The irony is that this looks like a small, sensible reference book, but it contains the kind of micro-authority that can start wars in newsrooms. Should it be ?email? or ?e-mail?? Which capital letters get to live? When is a quote mark guilty until proven innocent? What is the correct plural of any acronym invented after 1973? Guardian Style has opinions, and it is not shy about them. If you?ve ever wondered why headlines read the way they do ? or why some publications insist on house rules that feel like secret handshakes ? this is the backstage pass. It?s also, unexpectedly, fun. Style guides are full of tiny dramas: the constant battle between tradition and readability, the urge to be precise without becoming unbearable, the need to standardise without sanding off humanity. A good style guide is basically a museum of linguistic edge cases, and Guardian Style is no exception. You will find yourself reading entries you never thought you?d care about and thinking, Actually? yes. That is better. Or, alternatively, Absolutely not, and I will die on this hill. Either response means it?s working. And because it?s the Guardian, there?s a particular flavour: practical, modern, occasionally wry, and deeply invested in clarity. This is a tool designed for writers and editors who have to make choices fast, and live with them. It?s also the sort of book that quietly improves your writing through osmosis ? you start noticing your own habits, your own fluff, your own unnecessary capitals. It won?t just tell you how to write; it will make you mildly self-conscious in the best way. Condition: Good , meaning it?s done some service. A style guide in ?good? condition is a compliment: it suggests it?s been consulted, argued with, possibly used as a desk companion during moments of headline panic. Expect a bit of wear, but still perfectly fit for duty ? whether you?re editing copy, writing web content, or just trying to stop your sentences from wandering off unsupervised. Perfect for: writers, editors, students, and anyone who has to publish words for money, Guardian readers who want to see the machinery behind the prose, grammar lovers and punctuation litigators, and people who enjoy books that can make you feel smugly correct (even when you?re not). Sold by Crappy Old Books , naturally ? because where else would a newspaper?s style commandments end up, if not waiting to be adopted by the next person who wants their commas crisp, their spelling consistent, and their prose just a little less chaotic than the world it describes.
