 Simple, Yet Completely Necessary June 3, 2008
I've had writing friends say that The Elements of Style is just too basic, too old-fashioned to be relied upon. As a writer who uses this book constantly, I say not so. Strunk offers up 52 pages of essential information for the writer in all of us. There are no endless pages of descriptions - just simple reminders of what we should already know and understand about how to present our writing effectively. This one has become one of my go-to guides for style points.

Okay, so I paid like...3 bucks for this book? What did I expect....
Super thin...extremely brief and almost...common knowledge? I don't know what I expected but I was still disappointed.
If you don't own this little gem...get it! April 29, 2008
This little book has been a staple in my life for more years than I care to think about! It never gets old. If you are serious about writing, if only for personal reasons, you should have Elements on your bookshelf for ready reference.
