Since first appearing in 2002, Bryan Garner's The Redbook: A Manual on Legal Style has established itself as the go-to source for all questions of legal style (apart from citation form). The book isn't just one talented man's effort: Garner has two experienced coauthors plus a hands-on team of 54 editorial advisers, most of whom have long and valuable experience teaching LRW. The book is a one-of-a-kind resource--the legal writer's equivalent of The AP Stylebook or The Chicago Manual of Style . The brand-new fourth edition has lots of new material, including an especially helpful new chapter on handling quotations. The two exhaustive indexes (word and subject), plus the detailed table of contents, make it easy to find authoritative guidance within seconds, whatever the question might be. The author, Bryan Garner, is now the most frequently cited author in opinions of the U.S. Supreme Court. It's true: last term, four of his books were cited a total of 14 times (in the somewhat fewer than 90 cases decided). This term the count is on a similar pace. In American appellate decisions generally, Garner is at the top end of sources relied on. You can rely on him, too, in the most comprehensive, nitty-gritty resource available for legal writers: The Redbook . Don’t leave home without it. Review: Excellent one stop source for legal writing! - Excellent reference. Well organized and covers so much information. I only wish I had discovered it sooner! This is my go to for any legal writing questions, I no longer have to flip through dozens of other books. I love it! Review: Tip of the spear - It’s like the golden mean for law

Great content, terrible cover
I agree with other reviewers. The cover and binding choice on this book are not worthy of its contents. Otherwise, this is a very useful reference for any issue that needs to be answered quickly while drafting.

Required for law school. Rarely used
It's 2025, don't buy this. All the info is online

Book Quality is Poor
The content of this manual is not the issue. It's the deplorable fact that we are being charged almost $60.00, for the poor-quality paper that the pages are printed on that rip easily, and a cover that is just as cheap. The author and publisher should be ashamed of themselves putting a product out like this. Boo on them.

Beware of white an blue envelopes bearing books
I was apprehensive when I received the package in a soft-sided amazon white envelope because no book that cost nearly $60 should be not in a box. When I opened it my concerns were validated. I don’t have time to return and receive a new copy so I’m not happy

Poor quality book - misrepresentation
Be mindful that the book comes with poor quality of paper in spiral binding although the book listed on the ordinary paper back book. This is clearly a misinterpretation. I hope the Amazon and the author of this great book will reconsider giving distribution right to this seller.
