Summary: A Bit Academic
Comment: If you live and die, and otherwise make your living based on that which the 'Chicago Manual of Style' has to say about copy editing, then you'll find your money is well-spent. However, for me, my money was better spent elsewhere.

As a marketing communications editor, I needed something for friendly with the journalistic world. I needed a book that considers the AP book the style-setter.

"Chicago" is a great book, and for some purposes, I use it. Not usually, but occasionally. With this in mind, "Copy-Editing : The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Authors and Publishers" is the way to go. However, if you are ready to step up and put on some big bucks for an editing book, but need an AP-focused text, check out "Copy Editing for Professionals" instead.

I fully recommend "Copy-Editing : The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Authors and Publishers," but only after you are sure it is what you need.

Summary: The definitive work on the topic
Comment: My wife who has edited or translated over 250 books consults this book regularly. She tells me that people who know, use this book as their "Bible" along with the Chicago Manual of style. (For what it's worth, she prefers the Collins dictionary -- don't ask me which version! -- out of about 100 dictionaries she has.)This book is fairly pricey, some would say -- but it's worth every cent. Get it.
