Review of the first edition '...the only essential course preparation. While aimed at writing refuseniks, know-it-alls from across the great divide should take a peek...The chapter on style problems is a real eye-opener. Buy a copy and the journals who later publish your research will thank their lucky stars.' New Scientist, 1 March 1997.
