'..accessible and methodical guide to the creative prerequisites of picture editing... the author writes mainly for the beginner but with a clarity which will be refreshing for the experienced practitioner.'
In the Picture, April 1995

'The title might suggest an abstract or theoretical approach but Grammar of the Edit is an accessible and methodical guide to the creative prerequisites of picture editing. The author writes mainly for the beginner but with a clarity which will
be refreshing for the experienced practitioner who seeks to disseminate her or his craft to a learner group.' - in the picture, April 1995

'..this must rate at the best book on editing I have red. Novice editors can confidently use it as the their bible, whilst experienced editors, already using the techniques instinctively, will enjoy the analytical approach.'
