  60pp, Penguin 60s-size. This is a completely different venture for us: the publication of a book to help sell a book - so this is more of a marketing venture than a publishing one. A little book full of tips, hints, pitfalls to avoid, covering grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. This would be the sort of book students would use to sort out any confusion or worries they may have, to resolve arguments, to perfect style, and so on. The books are intended mainly to be given away with Longman Revise Guides as part of special marketing campaigns, or sold separately for GBP0.99. Contents: punctuation: * capitals * commas * apostrophes * dashes and hyphens * colons and semi-colons * brackets spelling: * traps * correction of common misspellings * words that confuse * rules to remember (-ie or -ei; -ce or -se?), affect/effect; I/me; practice/practise; grammar: * glossary to explain grammatical terms * explanation of terms (vowel, consonant, prefix, suffix etc) * common grammatical errors, and confused tenses skills: * homework tips * coursework tips * Longman top 10 tips for revision
