Description
Book SynopsisThis reference guide provides comprehensive information on how the Spanish language is copyedited for publication.
Trade Review"The importance of this book ... is indisputable... Its usefulness will apply to an audience far beyond students of Spanish; it will, in fact, become a companion text, like the MLA Style Manual, to a larger audience of users running the gamut from bilingual writers, i.e., fiction writers and journalists, to editors who are unsure about proper usage." --Dick Gerdes, Professor and Chair of Modern and Classical Languages, George Mason University
