"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 ". . .

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 β 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.
