The Economist Style Guide

Magazines, newspapers, book publishers and professional writers use style guides to make sure their writing conforms to good grammar and usage. One of the very best is issued online by The Economist magazine – and is written in a light and humorous tone. Check it out at: http://www.economist.co.uk/research/StyleGuide

Note: The Economist also offers an expanded hardback version of the Style Guide (cover price £16.99), which comes equally highly recommended. It is available at a number of bookshops, including Amazon.
