Paperback 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.


Reviews From Our Customers

Concise and Informative

This is a great reference for anyone who communicates in English.

This small book takes a subject that is generally dry and makes the most of it. Reading a volume on the rules of usage and principles of composition is normally rather tedious. In this compact guide, the authors educate readers in a rather painless way.

Most people would benefit from an occasional refresher in this area. Even many professional writers would do much better if they absorbed some of the principles here. There are some rules that seem pretty rigid. Some of the rules don't seem very applicable any more due to evolution in the language.

Nevertheless, this is a valuable guide that will benefit anyone who reads it.


The best.

Simply put, this book is the best book on grammar that was ever written and ever will be written.

Those guys on the cover know what they're talking about. Nowhere will you find such a humorous, accurate, and unique book on grammar in so few pages. If everybody wrote as they do, then the world would be a better place.

This book is great. I will just open it up to a random page and read from there to the end of the book. If I had my choice, I'd memorize this book.

This book is effortlessly superior to any textbook, workbook, or any grammar book every published. It deserves a place with any student, from middle school to grad school.


Indispensable tool for writer - Less is more

Some write short sentence, others long. This book is not mean to alter your style, it helps to remove redundancies, ambiguities and shows writer to get to the point in a concise manner. It is around for many decades, and still the de facto of the subject. The book shows writer the building block of writing -- a sentence, and it does a great job. Many professional writers need to read this book to make their book thinner and more readable. It is a classics.

If you need one book to clarify or organize thoughts into words, this is the one.
