The Writer's FAQs is a clear and ultra-portable reference for style, grammar, punctuation, mechanics, research and documentation that enables writers quickly to find the material they need with only minimal knowledge of terminology. The contents are presented both conventionally, and by lists of frequently asked questions about writing concerns as students are inclined to phrase them. Especially noteworthy are a generous section for multilingual writers, and "source maps" to demystify documentation visually.
