Composition teachers throughout the English-speaking world have been pushing this book on their students since it was first published in 1957. Co-author White later revised it, and it remains the most compact and lucid handbook we have for matters of basic principles of composition, grammar, word usage and misusage, and writing style.
Book Description
This is the braille version of the timeless reference book. According to the St. Louis Dispatch, this "excellent book, which should go off to college with every freshman, is recognized as the best book of its kind we have." It should be the ". . . daily companion of anyone who writes for a living and, for that matter, anyone who writes at all" (Greensboro Daily New). "No book in shorter space, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume" (The Boston Globe). Two volumes in braille.

College classic April 17, 2008
This book has been around for so long, but always seems up to date. I just bought it for our college bound daughter, as our shelf copy is pretty old. Consider it required reading for everyone who wants to sharpen their writing skills.

This is in my opinion the best, most straight-forward book on grammar and style. I accidentally ordered the original, which doesn't contain White's contributions. This version weighs in at 52 pages and delivers relevant advice on every one of them. There are longer, more detailed studies out there, of course. But if you want to do more writing and less thumbing through a rulebook, this is an excellent solution. Highly recommended!
