Review
"Pocket provides the right amount of information for my students. I appreciate that the author has managed to summarize well three main documentation systems in one small publication. I teach a wide variety of courses and the flexibility of A Pocket Style Manual allows me to rely on just one style guide." Andrew M. Drozd, Modern Languages and Classics, University of Alabama
