Copy-editing:
The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Authors and Publishers
|
Judith Butcher |
|
Cambridge University Press |
Regarded by many, in British publishing at least,
as the Bible on copy editing, this big book does a thorough job,
although it may prove too much of a good thing if what you want is an
introductory starting-point, rather than an authoritative last word.
