The Penguin Dictionary for Writers and Editors by Bill Bryson

Written English is full of pitfalls and confusions, even for native speakers and writers of the language. Covering spelling, capitalization, plurals, hyphens, abbreviations, foreign names and phrases and British and American usages, this book provides a guide through the controversies and disputes.

A Walk in the Woods (now a blockbuster feature picture starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte), Notes from a Small Island, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, In a Sunburned Land, A Brief History of Virtually Everything (which won him the 2004 Aventis Award), The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, At Home, and One Summer are among Bill Bryson's best-selling works. He and his wife live in England. Bill Bryson's website is www.billbrysonbooks.com.
