Pretty good but not great February 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got this on the recommendation of other professional writers at a training seminar. I use AP style in my job but it doesn't always fit since we're not writing news items for the wire. A big selling point is that it comes with a CD with most of the content so you can install it on your computer and search digitially.
However, I have been somewhat disappointed in that the few things I have looked up did not give definitive rules, but more like "Here are the options you can choose, just be consistent." I realize sometimes there are no hard and fast rules, but I'm used to AP, which takes a stand, and even though I don't agree with many AP rules, having a definitive guide saves me time and effort.
However, the content of the Franklin Covey book is extensive, and there are many items of value.

I'm an instructor / developer with a large midwest insurance company. In that role, I teach writing skills to our employees. While I have many other style guides, this book by FranklinCovey is a delightful surprise. It has 440 magazine quality pages with vivid color illustrations, side bars, explanations, definitions, descriptions, and examples. If you're looking for a comprehensive style guide that you'll be happy with on your first purchase, make this book your first choice.

This is a wonderful reference book. Unfortunately, it embodies a politically correct communication philosophy that makes it worthless. Don't waste your money. There are better reference books out there and they don't promote a polical/social philosoply.
