Summary

Over 1,300 entries define the terms, techniques, procedures, and trade expressions that writers need to know in publishing, broadcasting, advertising, or public relations. The alphabetical selections involve the common publishing terms like dummy and more esoteric consideration such as xenophobia (the editors define this as the kiss of death for most writers). The new edition has added 100 entries mostly involved with advances in online services, the Internet, and CD-ROMs. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
