Title: Do you need another style guide?
Product review: Every writer has (or SHOULD have!) Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style" on their shelf, so why do you need another style guide? Well, for one thing Strunk doesn't have references to Limp Bizkit or the September 11 attacks. This is a new book with reference to pop culture and more modern writing methods and styles. The rest of it is the same as any other good style guide, but the parts devoted to nuances of creative fiction and topics of interest to writers of today are worth the price of the book. You don't find many style guides that discuss the pros and cons of peppering your dialogue with realistic use of obscenities and profanity - something worth thinking about.Keep Strunk and White within arm's reach by your dictionary and thesaurus, but make a spot for this book somewhere on your writing shelf.
