Paperback Description:
Composition teachers throughout the English-speaking world have been pushing this book on their students since it was first published in 1957.

Average Customer Rating:
The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition is a valuable resource for the business writer
In this modern age of e-mail, the written word has risen to become, in many cases, the most vital "image product" provided by a company. In many instances, customers determine whom their suppliers will be solely based on written communication. Ambiguity and errors found in written documents convey an unprofessional image.
The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition will help guide your decisions when you are faced with questions related to diction, writing style, and punctuation. In short, this book will help you become a better business writer and project a more professional image.

If you ever need to write anything - read this first.
A polishing cloth for writers
I discovered The Elements of Style as an undergraduate student. By the time I entered university my writing style was already clear: the guidance provided by this book made it clearer. I credit my application of the directions contained in The Elements of Style with a consistent half to a full grade improvement in my university course results (that's about 5 to 10 marks). Now that I work as a lecturer, I recommend it to all my students.
The Elements of Style is succinct - fewer than 150 pages. Yet, in its limited space it manages to provide a wealth of good advice, and example to illustrate how that advice, when taken, improves writing.
Do not feel that you have to read this book cover to cover. Instead, start with the section on Words and Expressions Commonly Misused. Even some very good writers make the mistakes illustrated in that section. After this, try Chapter 2 on principles of composition, which lays out clear and simple rules that anyone can follow to improve their writing. Make sure you read Chapter 1, as well: the other chapters you can take or leave as you choose.
One strategy I find very helpful is to use the Find function in Microsoft Word to search drafts of my writing for aspects that the Elements highlights as troublesome. From there, I try to eliminate or rework the problem areas. Try this for yourself, it is a good way to get the most from the book.
