Review:

The inimitable Mr. Garner has proven this belief wrong, and happily so. -ABA Appellate Practice Journal Garner has given to the legal profession [an] extraordinary book....Invaluable. --South Dakota Law Review Bryan Garner...is rapidly becoming--if he's not there already--America's foremost authority on language and the law. --Barrister An expanded and more relaxed edition of his 1991 sourcebook. --William Safire, New York Times Magazine
