I had the third edition of this book for years and gave it to my sister to use on her job. This is a excellent book. It talks about verbs, punctuations, abbreviations, words that are commonly misspell, words that are use incorrectly, how to write a sentence…etc. This book is easy to read and is a wonderful book for kids and for adults. It is a must have book for those who have to send emails to coworkers or bosses. This this book should be in everyone homes just like a hand held dictionary.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
