Excellent5
I received the book on schedule and it was in great condition. I am one pleased customer.

Simple, Yet Completely Necessary5
I've had writing friends say that The Elements of Style is just too basic, too old-fashioned to be relied upon. As a writer who uses this book constantly, I say not so. Strunk offers up 52 pages of essential information for the writer in all of us. There are no endless pages of descriptions - just simple reminders of what we should already know and understand about how to present our writing effectively. This one has become one of my go-to guides for style points.

O...K.2
Okay, so I paid like...3 bucks for this book? What did I expect....

Super thin...extremely brief and almost...common knowledge? I don't know what I expected but I was still disappointed.
