The Elements of Style by William Strunk jr.
Asserting that one must first know the rules to break them, this classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer. Intended for use in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature, it gives in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style and concentrates attention on the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated.

How To Speak And Write Correctly by Joseph Devlin
In the preparation of this work the writer has kept one end in view, viz.: To make it serviceable for those for whom it is intended, that is, for those who have neither the time nor the opportunity, the learning nor the inclination, to peruse elaborate and abstruse treatises on Rhetoric, Grammar, and Composition.
This book is a must-have for any student and conscientious writer.
Customer Reviews:
Avg. Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0
Great Resource:
I think this is a great book for anyone that needs help with grammar, I have it bookmarked in several places. It's an essential for all aspiring authors.
Concise reference tool:
This book is a concise reference book stating plainly what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Small enough to be read throughly, and yet broad enougn in its coverage to allow the reader to feel prepared for upcoming writing events.
Better Quality & Faster Service Needed:
"The Elements Of Style and How To Speak And Write Correctly" arrived late along with numerous deficiencies. This inferior product omitted the glossary, index, edited out important examples and in general diluted the quality of this classic. How is any student and/or conscientious writer supposed to find information without an index in either of the books? Wrote a letter to the supplier regarding the above deficiencies--No reply after almost 2 months.
A Classic...but....:
Of course, The Elements of Style is a classic and it's helpful to combine these two books into one volume but it would be better if a book on writing didn't have so many typos. This edition needs some serious editing.
