Strunk, William: The Elements of Style.V1.30 June 2014
The Elements of Style is a prescriptive American English writing style guide in numerous editions. The original was composed by William Strunk, Jr., in 1918 and published by Harcourt in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage", ten "elementary principles of composition", "a few matters of form", a list of forty-nine "words and expressions commonly misused", and a list of fifty-seven "words often misspelled".

Thanks, Crich70.
Does anyone know of a similar style manual for British English users? |

Oops. Sorry about that. I don't know how that happened. Probably a download error from Gutenberg.
Note: I found out what the problem was and have corrected the text. Thanks for the heads up. Last edited by crich70; 07-01-2014 at 08:02 PM. |

The rest of 'em. EDIT: I've just bought the Fowler's from Kobo. It's couponable there, so with the 40% off PERKOPOLIS code I just paid €5.20. I think that's a nice price for the 1st ed Fowler's plus introduction and notes by David Crystal... Last edited by doubleshuffle; 07-02-2014 at 01:20 AM. |

@doubleshuffle: If you like Fowler's, also check out:
Woe is I by Patricia T. O’Conner (Also available in the Kobo store, but the Kindle edition is cheaper.) |
