Drafting and Legal Writing

Bryan Garner, the country's foremost expert on writing, style, legal drafting, and usage, 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.
