 Don't be fooled! Oct 30, 2009
This edition of the Elements of Style does NOT include the material by E.B. White! For some incomprehensible reason, the publishers have stripped all of White's excellent observations, tips, and essay material out of the book.
I grew up with Strunk & White. I used it as a college teacher and tutor. I used it for decades as a professional writer. When my copy was destroyed in a fire, I sought to replace it and was entirely too careless: I simply looked for the same title ("The Elements of Style") and clicked to order it.
I would award Strunk & White five stars. Without White's material, The Elements of Style is a two-star book. This weak-tea version of "Elements" is merely adequate. If you really want insight into style, purchase Stunk & WHITE. I was careless; I want to alert other purchasers before they make the same error.
 The Elements of Style Oct 26, 2009
I was told about this textbook some time ago.Because its revised edition dated from 1935 with following editions in 1959 and 1972 I became intrigued about the quality of this book.Finally after having tried other textbooks for the same purpouse of learning the language and following recommendation from my daughter who teaches English as a second language in Colombia,South America I purchased a copy.I am delighted with this book and I will get more copies for my grandchildren now in school.It will make a perfect Xmas present and a valuable addition to their studies.
Great Book for Homeschool Composition Class Oct 12, 2009
Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style" is a wonderful book, and it is great for learning grammar, in that it is witty and demonstrates the rules of grammatical and compositional style in a way comprehensible to human beings. It has great examples and is able to show students what to do by telling them what *not* to do! It is easy to carry around, and is so concise, that you should be able to read it in two hours, at the most. If you talk or communicate in any way, this book will most certainly be useful for you!

 Waking Lion Press ... Oct 04, 2009
This edition of Waking Lion Press is full of errors and poorly laid out.
Still Stylish After All These Years Sep 24, 2009
The "little book" was recommended to me when I was a freshman in college, and I have recommended it to many, many college students whom I have taught. It is still apt and entertaining. This copy is a very nice one. Buy it - even though you are not a student and all you write is email!
