Summary: Excellent Book!!
Comment: I purchased this book with not much expection after reading the previous review, but was very surprised by the amount of information in this book. Regarding the style, I think the reviewer was referring to the 5th edition which is the one I have. However, if you know the new format, then you are all set because only the format needs to be changed, but the terms are the same. It is a very detailed book which includes examples on how to prepare a medical transcriptionist resume', flyers, writing job description,a full appendix of sample documents, detailed information on punctuations, medical terminology, styles and rules of typing medical documents and other medical corespondence and a whole lot more. I have the older edition, which also has answers to the practice exercises and it comes with a practice CD as well. The is a complete book on medical transcription, where it even takes you on the topic of preparing your resume' for youe interview. If this has so much information, can you imagine the new edition?

Summary: Somewhat Useful
Comment: This book is pretty outdated for the most part especially with much of the formatting that it uses. If you use this book you should make yourself aware of the new industry standards via AAMT Book of Style.
However, this book is very good for learning or brushing up on your grammar skills, and it has some pretty helpful lists and things that you can pull out and place in a notebook.
