I agree. This is the book that really engages with the craft of writing.

  1. Although I’m not a native English speaker, I’ve always preferred http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-William-White-Strunk/dp/B001JEDR6U

    Thanks for the tip though! :-)

  2. Pulliam himself recommends Style: Toward Clarity and Grace by Joseph Williams.

    Now unless Joachim is trying to get your goat, he clearly didn’t read the article in the first place.

  3. Whoops. I stopped paying attention to where your link went when I posted, and now I look stupid.

  4. heh, indeed. Stark and White provides the 101 and even then, it is not so useful. Toward Clarity and Grace is nothing but the bomb.
