You're welcome. :)

Honestly, some people are just not cut out for beta work. Beta work is one of those things that can be easy to offer, but hard to follow through with. It is time-consuming and it can be intimidating to have to tell someone that they have to make 700 changes to his/her story. Good betas can be hard to find, I'll admit.

The Elements Of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B. White is probably the best place to start. I also like Barron's Essentials Of English and Grammatically Correct by Anne Stillman. Other people might have others they swear by, but those are the three I keep on my desk.

Alright then, I'll make sure to look at and read those.
Thanks once again.
