You want to brush up your proofreading and editing skills? This is a good workbook to get you started.
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2010
I ordered this book hoping it would help me with proofreading textbooks. It didn't. This book is designed for business proofreading, which isn't exactly clear from Amazon's description. Probably a great book for those who know nothing about proofreading and will be proofreading in a corporate setting. Not for actual editors, publishers, etc.

This is a great book for beginning proofreaders and those who need a brush up. Also for those who want to increase their grammar skills.
