This is a 71 page, 25th printing of this classic book. A note on this book from E.B.White: In the summer of 1957, I wrote a piece for the New yorker about a textbook I had used when I was student at Cornell. The book dealt with usage and style; the author was William Strunk Jr., who had been my friend and teacher. When this piece of mine appeared in print, the editors of Macmillan got hold of the textbook and arranged to reissue it, using my article as an introduction. They asked me to make revision in the text and write a chapter on style, and I have done both things. Professor Strunk was a positive man. His book contained rules of grammar phrased as direct orders. In the main I have not attempted to soften his commands, or modify his pronouncement, or delete the special object of his scorn. I have tried, instead to preserve the flavor of his discontent, while slightly enlarging the scope of the discussion.
