Copy EditingThe Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Authors and Publishers Judith Butcher's Copy Editing is now firmly established as the UK classic reference guide for editors and others involved in preparing text for publication. It is written from the perspective of a professional copy-editor, and covers just about everything you would need to know in preparing a text for publication.
It contains explanations of every part of a book - from details such as preliminary matter, frontispiece, title page, and content, through to lists of tables and illustrations, acknowledgements, bibliographies, notes, and indexes. The latest edition also deals with issues of copyright, the conventions of presenting text in specialist subjects such as music and mathematics, and preparing work in electronic form. This is a good investment for writers who are serious about preparing their work for publication, and an excellent source of reference when you get stuck with the minutiae of bibliographies and typographic presentation. It's also now available in paperback. © Roy Johnson 1996 [more STYLE GUIDE manuals] Judith Butcher, Copy-Editing: The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Authors and Publishers, 3rd edition, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992.
