A practical reference for punctuation across styles

June Casagrande’s revised reference organizes punctuation guidance by type, with coverage of hyphenation, commas, apostrophes, numbers, and other common questions. It is designed to help users consult rules across AP, MLA, APA, and Chicago style manuals, which can be useful when writing for different contexts such as essays, news articles, newsletters, books, and reports. Additional features include a Punctuation A to Z list of frequently confused terms, visual markers for usage rules, and a panel addressing gray areas. The book presents itself as a lookup tool for resolving specific punctuation questions rather than a single-style manual.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Writers working across multiple formats or style manuals
  • Students, editors, and business writers seeking a punctuation reference
  • Anyone looking for organized answers to common punctuation questions
