Decent Desktop Reference for the Student / Professional:
Strunk's work is a solid baseline for grammar, punctuation, and composition. If your workplace tends to create its own standards for linguistics, it might be valuable to keep this readily available. It is somewhat limited in terms of all the possible usages of punctuation, and admits as much in its first pages. While this is a valuable reference for most scenarios, it can't stand alone.
The print leaves much to be desired.:
The book is great, I mean it's a classic but this version looks like it came right off the photo copier of the original print for 100 years ago. It's horribly fussy and the copy spacing is poor. I suggest finding a version by a different publisher.
The Elements of Style:
As an author, I struggle with my style of writing to gain an oridance. this book was suggested to me by me Editor, and an instructor from a grammer free proof reading class I took. It has put great perspective on how I should write.
Good Book:
I received this book in very good condition and arrived on time as expected. I am very happy with how my purchase was handled. About the book, it is a very good reference for anyone who wants to be a good writer.
