Brief Description

Item#: 2504317
    The classic style guide to writing in English.
 
 
    Asserting that one must first know the rules to break them, this classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer. Intended for use in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature, it gives in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style and concentrates attention on the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated.

The Elements of Style - Strunk & White

I have owned both the 2nd and 3rd editions of this fine reference. I recommend it for all who write, whether as novelists or for business communications "on the job." In fact, as part of an eight person department in a new job (and as witness to some frightful documents), I am buying a copy of the 4th edition for each of us. After I bought my first copy, this English language and grammar reference book has always been on my desk and used frequently.

A classic that has some stong opinions

bairdg3 from Indiana, Jan 16, 2008

This classic tome on grammar and usage has been around for years. While some disagree with some stands the authors make, the overall lessons learned are essential to good language use.

The book is very informative and useful if you are a writer, or just want to learn the elements of the English language. The shipping was extraordinarily fast. I literally got it the next day.

This is a very necessary companion if you are in college or simply need to brush up on your style of writing. Definitely recommend.
