As he reminds us throughout, the author of this book should know what he's writing about, as he has been in the business a long time; Dr Day was, among other things, on the Publications Board of the American Society for Microbiology for some 19 years. A transatlantic approach first becomes evident on the second page of the Preface, with a reference to 'graduate students', but apart from some differences in spelling and a few words or constructions which sound awkward to the English ear ('transmittal' for 'transmission'), this is not a drawback. What is more irritating is a prevailing sense of smugness: when reading the Preface I assumed the author was tongue-in-cheek while writing 'For those of you who share my tremendous admiration for How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper, let me tell you a bit about its history', but by the time I'd finished the whole book, I was not so sure. The author declares his intention 'to make the reader laugh' and has weighed things down with what I suspect he would call a 'leavening' of humour; he may be a good raconteur in the flesh, but writing jokes down, one soon realizes, is a quite different talent, as my first quotation suggests.

This is not only a book for those starting to write — experienced authors, editors, even readers can benefit. Most contributors are professional editors of medical journals or clinicians holding chairmanships of editorial boards. In addition to the writing of papers there is advice on how to compose letters, case reports, topic reviews, abstracts for scientific meetings, and a chapter on 'Style — what is it, and does it matter?' There are bad and good examples of tables and graphics, as well as advice about illustrations and micrographs. There is sound sense which even applies to the reading of papers, like 'abstracts are frequently the only part of the paper that is read'. I would have liked to read about how to write book reviews, which could be included in the next edition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
