Sadly disappointing. I regret spending the fairly large amount of money.
0 of 3 found this helpful 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.
