Books about editing and typography...

At first, you might not consider all the titles shown here to be about editing or even about writing. But we believe each of these contributes to useful ways of thinking about language and communication.

...to inspire excellence

The books shown here (unless you have ad blocking enabled) (unless you are reading the printed version of this page) are great for novice and experienced editors and writers. If you find it on our editors bookshelf, we believe it has something of value for everyone.

Keep one or two nearby to help clear the cobwebs. Try Dupré for fast, practical answers. Use Hofstadter and Bringhurst to inspire yourself (and to impress visitors). Give each a few minutes a day, we think you will find yourself cultivating excellence in new ways.
