The
Elements of Style from William Strunk Jr.
"This
classic reference book is a must-have for any student and conscientious
writer. Intended for use in which the practice of composition is
combined with the study of literature, it gives in brief space the principal
requirements of plain English style and concentrates attention on the rules
of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated."
