Very important resource for writers
| Customer Rating: | I wish I could remember who originally recommended the original Strunk & White Elements of Style to me. If I could remember, I would find them and hug them unabashedly.
If you're writing ANYTHING and care AT ALL about how it turns out then do yourself a favor and pick this one up. The organization is very strange (there isn't any to speak of) and the writing style is very direct. The result is a no-nonsense book that teaches you to cut the crap out of your writing.
There are many, many valuable lessons contained in Strunk's short and useful guide but the best ones, for me, are the ones regarding comma usage and his favorite command, "Omit needless words." During everything I've ever written since reading this book I've heard a disembodied voice telling me to remove words. I've noticed while editing other people's work that the piece can be improved dramatically by deleting all the words that say nothing.
It's a quick read but a necessary one for anyone doing any kind of writing. |
Fun Addition to a Classic
| Customer Rating: | The Maira Kalman illustrations are a delightful addition to the fine writing advice of William Strunk and E.B. White. Will the playful paintings aid in your pursuit of writing greatness obtained from reading these pages? YES!
Strunk and White teach us how to write well and thoughtfully. Kalman's wonderful illustrations demonstrate that writing without an attitude of joy is simply dull. |
Great Buy
| Customer Rating: | I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices.
Buy with confidence, I did! |
Recommendation from my sister
| Customer Rating: | | Makes a great gift - who ever would have thought to illustrate a grammar book. |
Illustrations are superfluous
| Customer Rating:  | I could've done without the illustrations in this edition of the Elements of Style. Also, they've put the page numbers on the inside margins of the pages. So if you look up a reference in the index, you then have to open the book wide to find the page number, which should be placed on the outer margin where it's easy to spot as you flip through.
All I wanted was the Elements of Style, which is a great book. I'll buy the normal edition. This one is irritating. |
