Title: Strunk and White and Walsh
Product review: At last, a worthy successor to Strunk and White! No, I have not abandoned my loyalty to those old masters whose THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE retains its utility and authority after 40 years (however badly I may apply their lessons in practice), but we were sorely in need of an update. Language is alive and usage shifts. The basics may endure for years or decades, perhaps very occasionally for centuries, but change is the only constant. Bill Walsh here offers an invaluable update. From advice on how to use common sense and a dictionary, to punctuation, quotations, headlines and the new electronic media, Walsh pulls together the lessons of 19 years of editing and offers useful, witty and thoroughly rational guidance on usage and writing. A winner.
