ABA Publication: Garner on Language and Writing

By Bryan A. Garner
Foreword by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Bryan Garner has collected over a hundred of his finest essays on writing, language, and style in this substantial anthology. The book includes sections on legal language and lexicography, how to write successfully as a professional, and concludes with chapters on what he calls “bizarreries” –entertaining descriptions of puns, curiosities, vocabulary use, and other hilarious writing escapades. Finally, Garner includes several tributes to great stylists, and concludes with recommendations for making oneself a great writer, grammarian, and stylist”.

“Bryan A. Garner is the best-selling author of more than a dozen books. Chief among them are A Dictionary of Modern American Usage, Legal Writing in Plain English, The Winning Brief, The Elements of Legal Style, and many others.”
