The book is acknowledged by some reviewers as being relatively comprehensive in the field of correct writing and editing, offering an educational overview of the subject. Its structure is also noted as a positive by some. A significant positive aspect highlighted is the book's appendices, particularly the section that recommends reputable resources for editing. Additionally, the book provides a valuable list of Persian equivalents for foreign words, which can assist writers in using well-crafted native vocabulary.
However, a major criticism leveled against the book is the author's unpolished prose and a perceived lack of adherence to the very editing and writing principles he advocates, with numerous errors in punctuation, spelling, and typesetting throughout the text. Reviewers also point to a significant issue of academic dishonesty, claiming a large portion of the content is compiled from other experts' works, particularly "Ghalat Naynevisim," without proper attribution. The explanations for many topics, especially punctuation and correct writing, are often described as superficial, vague, and insufficient, leaving readers confused rather than enlightened. Specific examples of factual errors and inconsistencies are cited, including misinterpretations of English grammar and contradictions within the book regarding grammatical rules, such as verb agreement with broken plurals. Furthermore, some reviewers accuse the author of fabricating examples to illustrate "wrong" usage, rather than drawing from authentic linguistic occurrences, and the book also suffers from a lack of answers for its exercises, diminishing their utility.
In conclusion, while the book attempts to be a comprehensive guide to correct writing and editing and offers some valuable resources in its appendices, its effectiveness is severely undermined by numerous internal inconsistencies, factual errors, and a perceived lack of originality and scholarly rigor. It is therefore difficult to recommend this book as a primary or reliable source for those seeking a definitive or meticulously edited guide to writing and editing. Readers might find some utility in its resource lists and general overview, but those looking for precise, consistent, and impeccably presented guidance, especially aspiring editors or serious students of language, may find their trust in the material eroded by its many shortcomings.
