The Elements of Style

The Elments of Style is one of the most influential and best-known prescriptive treatments of English grammar and usage in the United States. Countless writers have cited it as one of the most important books they have ever read. This book, printed as a private edition for the use of Strunk's students, became a classic on the local campus, known as "the little book", and its successive editions have since sold over ten million copies. This is not the version co-wrote by E.B. White.
