Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The original edition of the most trusted writer's guide to American English, this is the book that generations of writers have relied upon for timeless advice on grammar, diction, syntax, sentence construction, and other writing essentials. In brief and concise terms, author William Strunk, Jr., identifies the principal requirements of proper American English style and concentrates on the most often violated rules of composition. Originally published in 1918, this authoritative and engagingly written manual retains its immediacy and relevance. Strunk begins with the basic rules of usage, offering accessible explanations of correct punctuation and grammar. His advice on the principles of composition utilizes concrete examples of how to maintain clarity by eliminating redundancy and unnecessary embellishment. In addition, Strunk provides valuable pointers on avoiding common errors in the usage of words and expressions, and in spelling. The great book of its kind, this volume is a must for any student or writer.

I actually purchased this edition and another later edition. Both are valuable and easy to locate your grammar subjects of interest. I have one at home and another at work. I'm in the process or writing a book; that I hope to sell here on Amazon. The name of my forth coming novel: THE ROCK OF NEREID.
