Media Reviews

Publishers each year spew out writing books for law students by the dozen. Forget them. This is the best. We had not believed that this classic work could be substantially improved. 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
