  A "Must Have" if You Write
Review created: 12/30/05
by:
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

If you own no other book about the craft of writing, this slim volume should be it. Packed in a handful of pages is the best advice ever given on the topic of writing well. E.B. White ranks among the great American writers, and certainly tops the list when it comes to talking about his craft. Buy it. Read it. Study it. Apply it.

  the classic in its field
Review created: 09/02/09
by:

The very thing for high school and college students (and beyond) with short attention spans or little time... "just the facts, ma'am" (the facts of how to write well), but laid out in such a friendly and approachable manner that the lessons do not seem condescending. Everything from punctuation to creative writing, all in about 100 short pages.

This is a straight forward reference book on proper writing. It is a must have for any writer or non-writer. It has sections on word usage,composition, form,commonly misused words and phrases, and writing style.

As a teacher of English for several years, this small book
is valuable! My brother-in-law recommended it to me,
who had received his recommendation from his Ph.D son, who is
a published author in Art History and University Professor
of same.

  How to write good.
Review created: 03/16/08
by:

This is a classic handbook on how to write good....uh, how to write well. We all fall into writing traps and faults, and referring back to the 'Elements of Style' reminds us where they are. It also tells us how to fix them. In these days of text messages and emails, our language is being assaulted by shortcuts, laziness and indifference. (I blame the schools... and technology.) Some of us need to buck that trend, and this book can help.

It was fine. Would buy again from you If I wanted to. But now I have to write hundred words or more to justify buying the book? this is annoying Ebay. The book was fine and the time it arrived is fine. That is all I wanted to say but now I have to say in at least 100 characters. This is not homework. Let me do what I want to do, I have other things to do then write long winded reviews when you like something.
