The Economist Style Guide
http://economist.com/research/styleguide/
ISBN: 1861979169
The website is based on the style book which is given to all journalists at The Economist. It gives a bunch of advice on how to write good and clear English with style, precision, points out common errors and clichés, and offers guidance on vocabulary, the proper use of punctuation and grammar.
There is a special section on the differences between British English and American English. The third section contains a range of useful reference material, covering everything from business ratios and stockmarket indices to chemical elements and US presidents and British prime ministers.
A good book for anyone who writes reports, articles, books, letters or memoranda, The Economist Style Guide will enlighten, educate and amuse.
