Elements of Style, The

I bought both editions—illustrated one and the one without illustrations—and I will suggest that one should go with the one having illustrations. Not simply because it is colourful and vibrant but because of the fact that it has larger margins—you'll need them.However, I must add that the fourth edition (the one that doesn't have any illustrations) is more handy; it's pocket-sized—not larger than your Phablet!Quality and Quantity: Illustrated version1:0Non-illustrated version (as it doesn't have any illustrations and is small in size)In terms of content: both are equivalent; word count is almost same as Index is same.About the book: Simply, the Best.

The media could not be loaded. An illustrated edition might sound over kill for such a book, but it's well worth it for people who love the world of writing and grammar.

This is a must-buy for all editors - the little Bible of editing.

The book explains the rules of good writing in lucid yet succinct language. A must-have for any person who wishes to improve their writing.

The media could not be loaded. This book is a treat. If you love to write or even love to decipher the magic of words knit by others, this is the classic book to go to. Art and word combined, this couldn't have been better ♥️

Despite many stating this book is overrated, I have to disagree. It sets great guidelines for standards and expectations for different types of papers, documents, reports, etc. It is merely a guide, in the end style is subjective. It has some good tips and tricks of the trade, but it's up to you whether or not to implement them.The illustrations are interesting, and I think they try to relate to the subtext of the section (honestly, I don't see the connection, but they are pretty). I think 'illustrations' is the wrong word to be used in this particular case, it should be 'pictures' or 'paintings'.

Indispensable reference book for every technical aspect of writing - if you have ever wondered where to place the comma, the apostrophe, or the correct use of singular or plural forms of the verb, this may be the only reference book you will ever need 👍

It is a beautiful book but the spine was torn when I received it. I can still read it without a problem but feel a little disappointed.
