Unlike another review of this style manual, it is not about writing flair. Instead, it is about the specific functions of grammar and how they are placed in order to create cohesive writing. This book is one that is used by universities, publishing houses, creative agencies, even corporations, to create style guides and reference guides to ensure uniformity.

I bought the style manual to ensure I was using current best practice in my written material. I was disappointed because the writing was not clear and concise, and that to my mind casts a doubt on all the writer's pronouncements on matters of style in writing. Also, the volume appears to have been designed on-screen without consideration of how the layout and design would appear in a paper book. It's messy. I got the feeling it was produced to fulfil some contract or obligation and not to present a coherent and useful reference tool. It seemed perfunctory and amateurish. There appears to be no other Australian style manual to compare it with, unfortunately.
