If you need just one book which will answer all your questions on writing - from punctuation to publication - then this is it. The Little, Brown Handbook is a huge encyclopaedic guide to all aspects of writing. It includes vocabulary, punctuation, grammar, style, document design, the conventions of referencing, editing, bibliography, and the Internet. All topics are well illustrated and cross-indexed, and some of the longer entries are virtually short essays. It also has self-assessment exercises so that you can check that you have understood the contents of each chapter. This is the Swiss army penknife of writing guides. Highly recommended. It will last you from school to university and beyond.
