Summary: Faily adequate handbook!
Comment: Being the owner of many other style and handbooks, e.g., MLA Style Manual, APA Style book et al; I must say that I was somewhat disappointed with this, i.e., The Modern Writer's Handbook by Frank O'Hare. Not being a fan of soft back books and finding this edition to be typed in too small font was not a good beginning. However, it goes downhill from that moment with uninteresting examples and crammed pages that seem to burst with all kinds of information except the information that you need at that particular moment (which in itself is a waste of time, since stylebooks and handbooks should be easy to use, i.e., finding how to use the semi colon correctly or how to cite a book or magazine article; and not scare the user of with a badly designed page layout and a poorly selected font). This book is adequate and serves its purpose well; however, when I compare with the other style books that I have read and examined, i.e., MLA Style Manual, APA Style book, I must say that I was somewhat disappointed.
