This bibliography lists most of the literature on editing written
from 1960 through 1988, with particular focus on those works
pertaining to the acquisition and preparation of texts for
publication. Recognizing the wide range of functions performed by
an editor, Bruce W. Speck accesses information about the editor's
involvement in all aspects of the publishing process from
initiating contacts with authors and marking manuscripts to
discussing production specifications with the printer and creating
advertising copy. The entries are arranged alphabetically by author
and fall under the headings of general editing, technical editing,
and the editing of particular types of documents. Each citation is
presented in standard bibliographic form, and the contents of each
work summarized briefly using quotations and examples to highlight
each book's most salient points. In order to facilitate
identification of entries, the list is numbered consecutively with
the subject index keyed to the numbered entry instead of the page
number. Thoughtful organization and thorough documentation make
this manual a handy reference volume for libraries, professional
editors, and teachers of editing.
