Review: GET IT - This is a rare book. I hate style and grammar books in general. But this book flows; it made me aware of repeated questions I have in mind when writing and just as quickly answered those questions. The voice the book is written in demonstrates a mastery of, but also a humble reverence for the subject. I was taken aback by the emotion I felt by what is essentially a textbook. That’s not quite a first for me, but unusual. There are some books I don’t want to be far from, because they do feel like dear friends, and this is one of them. In terms of a stylebook what I like most about this book is the way it demonstrates how not to do something, followed by the how-to-do something using the same example. There are many single pages in this book with demonstrations that I believe are worth the cost of the book alone. Even if not script writing, there are matters here about punctuation that are presented in ways I have not seen before, that seen in this format make perfect sense and give me confidence in my writing. The large format of the book is also helpful. It is script-like and feels generous to the mind and in the hand, and so mimics it’s many lessons about what makes for quick reading and a sense of fluid absorption of the material.
Review: INDISPENSABLE TOOL FOR BUDDING SCREENWRITERS - Format standards in scriptwriting are essential to being taken seriously at all in this industry and the standards evolve. This edition of this book brings us right up-to-date and gives us the ability to fashion really professional-looking scripts. This can't be done by screenwriting software. More, the book is like a screenwriting course, even though it is not necessarily intended to be. Suddenly, while learning the DOs and DON'Ts, the writer understands why those things are in place and and tighten and strengthen their work. The example script pages are a great resource and he even tells us which brads to use and how many. Finally! The definitive word on brads!! (Yes, it's actually important.) Don't even think about it. If you want to write a film or TV script, buy this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found this a great resource with lots of detailed information about formatting scripts
*by D***R on October 31, 2016*

I found this a great resource with lots of detailed information about formatting scripts. It isn't going to teach you how to write a script (at all), but only how to format it. It won't tell you whether or not you're "supposed" to do something, only how to do it if you choose to. It's like a grammar reference for people who already know how to speak English -- and it's great for that purpose. Like all good grammar books, it's super picky. In my opinion, this was the best buy that I've made to prepare myself for next year's schooling. Teachers are notoriously picky.
