Review: Necessary reading! - Since studying at university and graduating, I have kept this book in arms reach on my work desk since! I’m not the best with grammar, and it’s so reassuring to be able to just quickly check something over if your unsure, particularly when writing papers or minutes in a professional capacity. It’s also really small and light, so could be kept in a handbag at all times! I think anyone studying in the English language should have a copy of this, from as young as possible, so they have the confidence to use grammar correctly, and to be able to define their writing style. Review: A Surprisingly Interesting Book... - I bought this to brush up on some essential grammer after having it recommended by Stephen King in his book "On Writing". Naturally, it is a work of non-fiction (and about grammar no less!) So you won't find yourself on the edge of your seat or anything as you read it. But you will find it softly engaging and interesting and find yourself pulled into the mindset of those people who take grammar a good deal more seriously than most of us. Particularly helpful is the fact that each recommendation comes with examples, so that you can see in practice what he is actually talking about, and that each part is not overly long, so you don't feel the need to reach for the metaphorical gun to put yourself out of your misery! If you set aside the contents, introduction and appendix then this book is only 85 pages long, which I actually saw as a good thing. No doubt there are books on grammar that can quite happily be used as tables in their own right, but I wonder how many normal people actually read them? It's a bit like Stephen Hawking's "Brief History of Time" in that owning a copy of such tomes doesn't automatically mean you have read them! This one I have read. I honestly don't know if it improved my grammar much (oh ok I do...It didn't! I think you would need to make more than a casual study of this to really improve much). But the door is at least slightly ajar to seeing the light and perhaps, some day, also marveling at the difference between a conjunctive pronoun and a restrictive adverb (something which I have personally never heard of, but which I feel happy to allow some Grammar God to now lay claim too). Overall, a book that is well worth your time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 020530902X | | Best Sellers Rank | 21,617 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1 in Technical Writing 3 in Language References 30 in Grammar, Structure & Syntax | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (6,882) | | Dimensions | 17.78 x 11.43 x 0.76 cm | | Edition | 4th | | ISBN-10 | 9780205309023 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0205309023 | | Item weight | 50 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 128 pages | | Publication date | 7 Sept. 1999 | | Publisher | Pearson | ## Images ![The Elements of Style - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YA1iiEw7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Necessary reading! *by L***N on 17 March 2018* Since studying at university and graduating, I have kept this book in arms reach on my work desk since!

Some have also suggested that the book is full of mistakes. Perhaps we have been reading different books. Page for page this has to be the best book on writing that I have read, so packed is it with useful ideas and information. I had imagined that it would be so based on American English that it would be less useful and even jarring to the British reader, but I did not find this to be so. Although style is related to taste and will vary from one writer to another, and although rules may sometimes be broken to good effect, I'm sure that any writer could sharpen his or her style by studying this book and applying its rules and 'reminders'. I will certainly be dipping into it from time to time. The one problem that I do have right now is that, having read the book, I can spot several errors of style in this review and I feel rather guilty about not taking the trouble to correct them. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition - The Elements of Style Workbook: Writing Strategies with Grammar Book (Writing Workbook Featuring New Lessons on Writing with Style) - A Lawyer Writes: A Practical Guide to Legal Analysis --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/49938609-the-elements-of-style](https://www.desertcart.com.br/products/49938609-the-elements-of-style) --- *Product available on Desertcart Brazil* *Store origin: BR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
