Title: Get me rewrite
Review: I realize that anyone who writes a book about editing is practically drawing a bull's-eye on his or her back. (Yes, I know some people disapprove of "his or her" as a way to avoid pronoun disagreement; deal with it.) That said, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that "a cold-eyed genius of a managing editor" would have his name spelled Carr Van Anda instead of "Carl." Not as bad as misspelling, say, "Webster." Or "AP." But honestly.Sorry, but I just did not find this helpful either for its headline advice or its copy-editing insight. Nothing new."When Words Collide" is much more useful.
Is the review positive or negative?
