writing

with close to a thousand pages you will have plenty of good writing material to use for reference to help you write very accurate and properly designed papers, letters, or whatever you are creating.

I was disappointed by the lack of electronic format especially for a book which puts out a new revision almost every year, but I would even go so far as to say that it is worth bringing along if you plan to do a lot of writing anyhow.

But with this being the ninth revision, you'd think they would provide an electronic version by now. Especially with such a handy student useful book which could be put on our tablet PC's or notebook computers for school to have handy without building muscles like the old folks get all misty over.. Excellent book just the same once you get over the demise of the many trees and those marked for the axe for revision ten which cannot be more than months away from print (yawn)
