Elements of Style Simplified (Strunk & Campbell)


Last month, I read and reviewed The Elements of Style- a simplified look at essential writing principles by William Strunk.  Virginia Campbell edited Strunk's work, produced a summary of a summary, and called it The Elements of Style: Simplified & Illustrated for Busy People.  The title says it all; no need to elaborate (remember: 'omit needless words'). 

Both this and the original are valuable; I have a mild preference for the earlier work- it's meatier- but this is a good option, too.
