Description: The Elements of Style (Illustrated). By William Strunk, E.B. White. (2005 Paperback, Illustrated, Fourth Edition). Illustrations by Maira Kalman. The classic reference for anyone who would like to write well in English, this edition is beautifully illustrated. Maira Kalman's paintings use sample sentences from the text as the captions. "The pictures are playful and subtle, which suits the spirit of this beloved bestseller" extremely well. They add even more levity to a subject that can be intimidating when it is being learnt. From E.B. White's introduction to the first edition: "...Perhaps [this] book has become something of a curiosity. To me, it still seems to maintain its original poise, standing, in a drafty time, erect, resolute, and assured. I still find the Strunkian wisdom a comfort, the Strunkian humor a delight, and the Strunkian attitude toward right-and-wrong a blessing undisguised." The book itself has scuffed covers, an inscription to a previous owner on the first page, and a wrinkle on the back cover in the top corner (please refer to photos for these). It is otherwise intact and unmarked.
