Because there was no receipt they would not let her have it--prisoners are not allowed packages from individuals, but can receive them if they are from book sellers or publishers directly. I was disappointed because I ordered this from one of the used book sellers and they did not include a receipt in the package. It was for my daughter who is in prison in Gatesville, TX and is taking college courses. So I paid for it and it was just what she needed, but she did not receive it since no receipt or shipping form. anything you can do to help me out.Thanks, Sandee Montignani
Though this book was written many decades ago (co-author E.B. White also wrote Charlot's Web,) the information contained within is timeless. It is small and easily read, yet provides a great foundation for ANYONE who needs to write (High School, College, Business, etc). A true Must-Have, Must-Read book.
U can bring to somewhere and read when u have free time. I like the book. The book so small, it look like the pocket. The book will help u so much for writing and fix some mistakes in the letter. I think u will enjoy the book.
White mentions in the preface that he tries to loyally adhere to this style. A very clear, concise, and informative book. Although there are things that one might disagree with, Strunk's advice is always worth remembering. It isn't written to teach grammar, but to fine-tune writing. Strunk has a definite opinion on stylistic matters and he presents this throughout the work, using examples to illustrate his points. For someone who doesn't have an excellent grasp on writing, this has been a valuable guide. I expect that even the professional writer would benefit from incorporating Strunk's advice into his writing.Very worthwhile.
This is an admirable book, if you want to write like the authors; it is a good book as far as it goes, but does it go far enough. Well, you will find salutary advice to resuscitate your prose, but if you want to be a fine craftsman--that is, if you don't want to beget base prose, you mustn't hang with Trunk and White for too long.
