The Elements of Style: The Original Edition,
By Emma Jane "nurse reader" (Aynor, SC, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Elements of Style: The Original Edition (Dover Language Guides) (Paperback)
This has been a standard in my bookshelf, actually on my bedside table, for many years. This new copy went to university with my grandson who is a freshman. I cannot say enough good things about this little book; neither can I tell you how many I have given to young (and older) students for use as they embark on high school or college writing. Strunk is the most concise and perfect help for writing that I have found.

The Elements of Style,

This review is from: The Elements of Style: The Original Edition (Dover Language Guides) (Paperback)
This power packed literary guide is essential for anyone who wishes to write better. Whether you are in an English class or need to write something professionally, this is the guide book to show you how. I purchased this book for a college English course, and it has proved to be a valuable tool in furthering my written communication skills.

Terrible Edition!!,
By Harry Potter "The Boy Who Lived" (Wizardland, UK) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Elements of Style (Original Edition) (Kindle Edition)
This book is formatted horribly. Chapters start in the middle of a page the way sentences should. Sentences are broken up and choppy. It's a shame that a book meant to guide people on writing techniques is done this bad in Kindle edition. Hopefully Amazon puts one out that is done right, because this book is an essential one to own, and I'm tired of carrying around my beat up paperback copy.
