1Not the right book!  Nov 21, 2009
This is not the Elements of Style 4th edition in paperback. Its a condensed version of it and should not be a paperback choice of the original hardcover. Will be returning it!

3Be careful which edition you order!!  Nov 19, 2009
I ordered the July 2009 paperback edition (it has a quill on the front) because it was cheaper than the others. BEWARE- it is not the same as the others! It has only half of the information that the others have... it's only Strunk without the White. If you want the real version make sure it says that it's by Strunk AND White.

5Highly recommend for every day use!  Nov 17, 2009
Highly recommend this book, it is a classic and I use it all the time as a reference.

2Don'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.

5The 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.
