Guardian Style

An expanded and updated edition of the Guardian stylebook, used by journalists at one of the world's most stylishly written and edited newspapers

Guardian Style will help you distinguish between so-called rules of grammar that are an aid to good writing and those that you can cheerfully ignore. It's also a mine of information, from the essential to the arcane, from the useful to the things you never realized you needed to know. The hundreds of new and expanded entries include an authoritative section on editing for the web, where the Guardian has an international readership of millions. Wise and witty, irreverent and informed, Guardian Style is an essential guide to the use of good English.

David Marsh is the production editor of the Guardian and has been editor of the style guide since 1999.
