Carolyn Howard-Johnson picks the trip-you-up words that her clients struggle with and puts them in a quick reference guide light enough and small enough to be used as an quickie gift that the recipient can tuck into a glove compartment or purse to keep their homonym skills fresh and explains why following grammar rules assiduously isn't always the best choice for writers.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson has created something of unmatched value: usage advice that cuts through the contentious world of grammar to offer real help. Writers polishing their manuscripts and query letters will find Howard-Johnson's guide more useful than Strunk and White.
-- JUNE CASAGRANDE, author of Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies (Penguin) and syndicated grammar columnist guru

That so much helpful advice is couched in such light-hearted, easy to read and entertaining prose is due to Howard-Johnson's abilities...
-- MAGDALENA BALL, founder and editor of The Compulsive Reader review

...it's editing books like this that help us get one step closer to writing, and speaking, clearly and succinctly. Five stars.
-- DAWN COLCLASURE, author, 365 Tips for Writers

This book is a good investment for all writers, no matter how skilled and experienced they believe they are. And, if you believe you 'could care less, ' you really need this book.
-- BOYD SUTTON, editor, Wisconsin Writer's Journal

From adapting/adopting to wreak/reek, this book is highly recommended reading for anyone preparing to write pretty much anything -- and a fascinating read in its own right for those who appreciate word-play and the occasionally encountered dilemmas of the English language!
-- JIM COX, Editor-in-Chief, Midwest Book Review
