The Elements of Style: Simplified and Illustrated for Busy People

This book offers concise refreshers on grammar rules and writing tips that are easily overlooked but critical to writing professionally. I found the section on spelling and the list of frequently misspelled words particularly helpful! For such a quick read, this guide is packed with information that is explained clearly and made memorable. I'll definitely pass this on to a friend!

First, this update brings new life and relevance to a little guide book that first crossed my path more than 60 years ago. Second, with this edition, is there some clever impish humor in the phrase "visual leaners" on the back cover, just six pages after we encounter on page 76 the list "words often misspelled"? Was "learners" intentionally omitted from the list? Finally, Professor Strunk is said to have said, "Get the little book." This 100th anniversary edition is just the ticket!

This book was simple to follow along and enjoyable to read. The large font and cute illustrations made it easy to get through without feeling overwhelmed from all the information I was taking in. It will come in very handy for anyone who wants to brush up on their writing.

A nice little book, easy to follow. Helps those of us that don't write that often to be a little more clear and concise with our writing. Gives great tips and is well written. 4 stars because it was for an English class

Good book!

A one hour version of Strunk and White. Bought my 14-year-old grand daughter a copy, my wife wanted one too. After you read this, you'll probably want the full version! (Answers all your questions about word misuse. ps://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth/dp/B00DTC81HU/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1546495879&sr=8-21&keywords=strunk+and+white

This is the grammar dictionary for the modern writer! I love that this edition makes the original much more approachable and accessible for anyone with doubts about their grammatical choices.

Fast and intuitively simple read! I love the updated version even more than the original. Read it now to write better tomorrow.

This book has been useful to me, I am writing a novel and it has helped to fill a few gaps in my education.
