The Elements of Style
by
You know the authors' names. You recognize the title. You've probably used this book yourself. This is The Elements of Style, the classic style manual. The revisions to the new edition are purposely kept minimal in order to retain the book's unique tone, wit, and charm. A new glossary of the grammatical terms used in the book provides a convenient reference for readers. This book has conveyed the principles of English style to millions of readers. Use the fourth edition of "the little book" to make a big impact with writing.
