Great Buy:
I'm usually concerned about purchasing items on line, especially books. I can honestly say that this experience was worth it. I would recommend this seller to anyone interested in purchasing good quality books at extremely reasonable prices. Buy with confidence, I did!
Recommendation from my sister:
Makes a great gift - who ever would have thought to illustrate a grammar book.
Illustrations are superfluous:
I could've done without the illustrations in this edition of the Elements of Style. Also, they've put the page numbers on the inside margins of the pages. So if you look up a reference in the index, you then have to open the book wide to find the page number, which should be placed on the outer margin where it's easy to spot as you flip through. All I wanted was the Elements of Style, which is a great book. I'll buy the normal edition. This one is irritating.
Improve your writing:
This is a nice show and tell book that shows common writing mistakes and then shows you how to fix them. Easy to read, wish i had a way of finding want i wanted in the book, but since i don't know grammar well enough to know the kind of problem i have i just scan the book hoping to see an example.
