This sixth edition of the Style Manual provides guidance and detailed advice on publishing in both print and electronic formats. It represents a substantial revision in response to the rapid and extensive changes that have occurred in publishing since the fifth edition was produced in 1994.The new Style Manual continues to provide detailed information and recommendations on the best practices in design, editing, production and writing.This edition builds on the Style Manual's reputation as an outstanding Australian reference standard for all those who understand the value of effective communication.

A most valuable handbook for writers in Australian government and corporate contexts

A must have reference for those who wish to edit their own work. When one reads the info babble that emanates from most government departments and large corporations one can only assume no thought has been given to what is written or to whom it is directed.

This isn't my favourite style guide, but as an Australian editor it is a 'must have' on my desk. My chief dislike is the index: it often seems to take quite a bit of effort to find what I am after.

This is the bible of style for Australian publications. Anyone who is writing or publishing in Australia needs a copy of this book. Simple.
