"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
