The Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips to Clean Up Your Writing
Mignon Fogarty can’t remember whether it was a misused semicolon, a chronic case of comma splicing, or an “affect” when an “effect” was called for, but at some point she had seen one mangled sentence too many. Determined to counter the slipping standards of good writing in daily discourse, Mignon created a weekly podcast called Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing to reach all offenders—from the intimidated to the apathetic. In less than a year, more than five million Grammar Girl podcast episodes have been downloaded, and Mignon has appeared in the pages of The New York Times and dispensed grammar tips on Oprah. In Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips to Clean Up Your Writing, Mignon tackles some of the most common mistakes people make while communicating. From “lay vs. lie” and “affect vs. effect” to split infinitives and run-on sentences, Grammar Girl offers clear explanations and effective memory tricks to help listeners write (and say) it right. .

Wife Dressing: The Fine Art of Being a Well-Dressed Wife
When fashion sensation Anne Fogarty penned WIFE DRESSING: THE FINE ART OF BEING A WELL-DRESSED WIFE, little did she know the effect her words would have on generations of women. Nearly fifty years after its initial publication, much of this classic original text of the 1950s is as every bit as practical, humorous, and helpful today as it was then. A nostalgic throwback to days when women played the role of a wife just as dutifully as they donned layers of petticoats and cinched belts, Fogarty's joie de vivre is irresistible, no matter the era. An updated introduction by Rosemary Feitelberg contextualizes Fogarty's appeal within a broader social range and provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of America's most enduring fashion designers. Complete with checklists that help chart a wardrobe plan and indispensable tips on everything from traveling to entertaining, this authoritative guide will strengthen every fashion I.Q. and aid in the search for the elusive quality of "chic." WIFE DRESSING includes helpful suggestions for avoiding fashion traps, wise spending, and even has quick remedies for banishing the "haven't-got-a-thing-to-wear mood," providing all the while that there is indeed a fine--and perhaps lost--art to looking good for every occasion..
