Amazon Description:
Composition teachers throughout the English-speaking world have been pushing this book on their students since it was first published in 1957. Co-author White later revised it, and it remains the most compact and lucid handbook we have for matters of basic principles of composition, grammar, word usage and misusage, and writing style.

I first read an earlier edition of this easy-to-read guide to writing in English on recommendation of my first employer after college circa 1976. It really made a huge difference in improving my writing style. It provides simple straightforward tips on writing crisply, concisely and correctly. I made it a point to read the revised editions and still found them as helpful as ever in effective writing. A must read!
