Not a useful reference, pocket or otherwise
Vi - your answers
Commandline editor guide
A very, very good pocket reference If you don't already know VI, try an on-line tutorial (there are plenty) or buy the more complete "Learning VI" book from O'Reilly to get you started.After you've acquired the basics, periodically refer to the Pocket Reference to add yet another "I didn't know VI did that" command to your toolkit.
Worth the [money] Recently, I realized that I hate having to always remove my hands from the keyboard every time I wanted to cut and paste or even scroll down the page. I decided to move on to vi.I tried elvis and vim.Since I don't like true Anyway, I'm amazed at what vim (and elvis too) can do!I started out reading the vim and elvis docs and saw a whole slew of things it can do.This is going to save me a lot of time and effort when coding!I got some nice syntax highlighting set up in vim (to match how elvis does it...just black and white. easy on the eyes.) and learned a lot of about the editor. I figured that I wouldn't remember everything there was to know about the vi commands and such, so I went out and bought this book. Over the past 2 days I have been diving into it at least 10 times a day to discover if there are any commands or to get the right syntax for the ones I remember.This is already worth the [money] I spent on it!!I've learned a lot of things from it already. I'd say if you are a seasoned vi user, this book isn't going to be of much help to you.Also, if you are a new user to VI, you need to get a full tutorial such as the parent book to this so they can walk you through some things.This book is just a *Pocket Reference*!Meaning, if you forget a commands syntax, this is a good thing to have on your desk so you can grab it quickly!It's not going to teach you squat about vi if you don' t know how to even enter Insert mode!However, if you're like me and you only know enough to get you in and out of vi, pick this book up!You'll be amazed at the commands you have been missing and the commands that will help you very very much! VI beats a GUI editor for efficiency and productivity, hands down! Now, back to coding!

Editor's Tell it Their Way
An excellent introduction to editing for editors
For potential editors as well For writers, this book will clear up some misconceptions on what an editor can, and can not, do for you.It lets you know what many editors are looking for, and explains the various kinds of editing.I would recommend Scott Walker's essay on small presses.After reading this, you should take a long look at which house you wish to publish your manuscript. For potential editors, this book will give you a better view of the different kinds of editing and the way the editing world is changing.Above all else, I would read John Paine's essay on the reasonable suggestion.This will put things into perspective. Again, I would highly recommend this book.
Great for Students So we studied reading the poets, and writing essays, and all that. But we had no idea what to do afterwards. What do editors do? How can I, as a writer, meet their needs? "Editors on Editing: What Writers Need to Know About What Editors Do" provides the nitty gritty low-down. These aren't secrets, but you do need to know these things. It is more than about publishing as a job, but an examination of the sorts of things which matter to an editor. Want to get your stuff past the slush pile, or work long-term with an editor. Here's how. I fully recommend "Editors on Editing: What Writers Need to Know About What Editors Do." Anthony Trendl
