Publisher's Note
Some acclaim for previous editions: "Buy it, study it, enjoy it. It's as timeless as a book can be in our age of volubility."
- The New York Times "No book in shorter space, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume."
- The Boston Globe "White is one of the best stylists and most lucid minds in this country. What he says and his way of saying it are equally rewarding."
- The Wall Street Journal "The book remains a nonpareil: direct, correct, and delightful."
- The New Yorker ". . . Should be the daily companion of anyone who writes for a living, and for that matter, anyone who writes at all."
- Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News "This excellent book, which should go off to college with every freshman, is recognized as the best book of its kind we have."
- St. Paul Dispatch - Pioneer Press "It's hard to imagine an engineer or a manager who doesn't need to express himself in English prose as part of his job. It's also hard to imagine a writer who will not be improved by a liberal application of The Elements of Style."
- Telephone Engineer & Management
The classic manual for writing is now in its fourth edition. Revisions have purposely been kept to a minimum 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.
