Useful for what it is, if a bit poorly laid out. The more famous second edition is better.

This book has several qualities that make it perfect for my learning style: it is short, concise, and full of good examples. Case in point, I have learned how to use a colon in a sentence.

Great book teaching a lot of rules about writing. I'll take some time to apply its teachings.

First read this in HIGH SCHOOL (1986 or so) - and it forever changed the way I wrote and looked at the written word.

I currently re-read it ever couple of years or so to keep my polish on.

Enjoyed the opinions and clarity of writing. Seems a bit outdated though. Would recommend only for historical interest.
