4.0 out of 5 stars
WARNING: Amazon is commingling reviews,
By Brian's Dad (Los Gatos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Elements of Style: The Original Edition (Paperback)
First of all, great book. Been writing professionally for 20 years, and I still use this book occasionally.
WARNING on REVIEWS: Amazon is using the same customer reviews for "The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition" by Strunk and White (1999) and "The Elements of Style - the Original Edition" by Strunk (without White) (1920), re-published September 2007. Since the republication of Strunk's original work was released in September 2007, all reviews before that date pertain to "Strunk & White." Any review after that date, unless clearly indicated, could pertain to either book. The books are markedly different, but Amazon is using the same customer reviews for both.

Not the best Kindle edition,
By
This review is from: The Elements of Style (Kindle Edition)
There are better Kindle editions out there. This one does have linked TOC but it is layed out weirdly. For one thing, it doesn't link back to the TOC from inside the book. For another, there is one main TOC with just the chapter headings and each chapter has its own more detailed TOC. Not very useful. The words wrap nicely but would benefit from better spacing and bullet points around examples. Not bad but there are better editions.

Not the book you're looking for,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Elements of Style (Kindle Edition)
This is the original, out-of-copyright "Elements of Style," not the updated version by Strunk and White. Very disappointed with this purchase.
