About this Item

Stated third edition of evergreen collegiate bible has been well-preserved. Even with a dog-eared upper, outer back cover corner, some bumping of spine, and some tanning of pages, this wholly unmarked copy arrives near fine at worst. See photos.

About this title

Synopsis

3rd Edition. Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style receives frequent mention in articles about writing. Originating as a classroom study aid prepared by Cornell English Professor William Strunk in 1918, this widely-used desk reference of English usage, form, and style continues to influence writers after a hundred years. After Strunk died in 1946, essayist E.B. White was asked to augment and edit the guide for a wider audience. When White died in 1985, Elements was in its Third Edition.

Review

A masterpiece in the art of clear and concise writing, and an exemplar of the principles it explains.

Store Description

These volumes represent the cream of my aunt's voluminous collection, which includes signed first editions from a friend's defunct Lincoln City store, antiquarian tomes a Reed professor bequeathed decades ago, and the art & design section of downtown Portland's long-lamented NorWester Bookshop. Given spatial constraints, I've little choice but to liquidate the inventory she spent a lifetime accumulating, but my dilemma opens opportunities for the right consumer. Shop freely and enjoy in her memory!
