Pearson Paper Elements Of Style E04, Grey

Great reading. Very helpful!

It is a beautiful manual that imparts the nuances of writing fluently and effectively. I believe this book is a must read for people from all walks of life. The presentation is so simple that the reader can't resist to get engrossed. The lively and intelligible examples make the task easier and help one grasp the content in one go.

This book deserved 5 start but few printing mistakes irritated me. So far I read few starting pages; quality of content is such a great that I have never read in any other books which I read till now. But those spelling error and other printing mistakes break the rhythm.

This is a very good book on how to improve your writing skills. Here the author has explained with various examples. There is a lesson on clutters which is really good and has helped me a lot. Anytime I have to write any blog or any email I refer this book to find mistakes in my content. I will highly recommend this book.

The book is great but the print from this seller is horrible. Lot of printing mistakes and illegible writings litter the book. It's sad that this book about writing was printed in such a manner to spoil its reputation.

I’m highly amazed to see its worthiness for each person who is willing to speak and write English. Read it, feel it and apply it in your life. It’s a basis of writing and speaking in a very lucid manner.

Item was delivered on time do full points to Amazon for prompt delivery. Now for the book. The size of the book surprised me for a while but I had read, in Stephen King's Memoir on Wiritng included, that this tiny book serves as a starter for every serious writer. And it's just that. Right from cutting out unnecessary words to punctuation, to principles of composition, this book will provide you the basic tools for writing as a novice writer. I intend to keep this book handy whenever I write and that says a lot about how good this book is because I HATE self help and how-to books.

Only one complaint. Size of the book is small. Uncomfortable to read. But content is good.

It's written beautifully

Un libretto di poche decine di pagine pieno di ottimi consigli per scrivere bene, cioè con efficacia, stile e correttezza. Da tenere come testo di consultazione assieme agli altri bei libri sulla scrittura efficace: "On Writing" di S. King, "Writing Tools" di R.P.Clark, "Scrivere bene" di W. Zinsser. E' disponibile anche la traduzione italiana, ma l'originale rimane insuperabile.

This is the Strunk and White edition, not just the Strunk Edition. I have that one too because I'm (among other things) a book editor. But if you want to know the elements of a clean, clear writing style, and you're willing to invest your time in a thin little book that says it all, this is the one you want, in the edition you want. Long after Professor Strunk had passed on, White (writer of children's books so good they were made into movies) and something of a word maven, this is well-organized, comprehensive and a whole lot more fun than the Chicago or AP or even Oxford Style Guides - my wife and I have all three, because, like I said, we are book editors. It really is a classic that has stood the test of time. I especially like the beginning, where they explain that the English language evolves, and there is no one body that regulates what or how English should look or work - and though the original is 110 years old this year, the Strunk & White edition is, IMO, the best of the bunch. Inexpensive and comprehensive, and very easy to follow, get this book if you're a writer or want to became one. Going without this volume is like being an epic novelist without having at least pretended to read Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey or The Hero with a Thousand Faces. All the great stories, from the Illiad to Star Wars, follows Campbell's pattern closely, because it's worked for at least 4,000 years (depending on the first-published date of Gilgamesh, the first Epic Poem (or first epic novel). At least he had a good idea - strive for immortality.

The best book on the practical use of the English language. Essential for all university students and for anybody who wishes to speak and write English using correct grammar.

Great little booky-wooky. Even if it is written by Americans! We won't hold that against them though, despite their insistence that "which" can only be used in a non-restrictive clause! Silly yanks, but we love them anyway!
