English style.. american standard... are there really such things ?

do you have a reference ?

i would have thought, but could be wrong that a book from amazon or rival will have the same styling whether it is bought from .com or from .co.uk ?

but if you are right about English style I'll feel good about retweaking my books ( as I'm English) !
