About This Book

The volume presents a proofreader’s practical handbook for producing clear printed material, treating writing for the press, proofreading methods, principles of style, punctuation, orthography, capitalization, and the history and forms of old-style typography. It supplies rules and illustrative examples, lists of preferred spellings and troublesome variants, explanations of ligatures and letterforms, plus technical terms and type-size references. Aimed at writers, printers, teachers, and learners, the text stresses legible manuscripts, consistent usage of capitals and spellings, and careful revision to minimize printing errors, and it includes an index and appendices for quick consultation.
