Title: A great resource for writers of all kinds!
Review: As a professional writer and editor, I own many style manuals, but none of them comes in handy more often than The Landa List. This trim little volume (it's only about fifty pages long) offers refreshingly clear, concise advice on how to avoid most common grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. It explains the difference between affect and effect, tells you when to use commas and semicolons, and offers helpful tips on how to use italics, dashes, and parentheses. It even includes a list of the 100 most commonly mispelled words. And it offers all this without all the extraneous clutter of many longer, more specialized writing manuals. (After all, who really needs to know the format for footnoting an unpublished foreign manuscript?) Small enough to fit comfortably in any desk drawer, and priced to fit almost any budget, this practical little publication is a real find!
