As someone married to an journalist and now EIC and one who prides himself on concise and solid writing, I really detest this book. It's full of terrible recommendations that the authors themselves don't even follow in their own book. I strongly recommend any English authors stay miles away from it.

If you want this sort of thing, read a well-respected publication's style guide (e.g., from the AP, NYT or Economist).

It is an English language and writing style classic. Recommend for sure but not sure abt the relevance here.

Get the new edition (the old 1930 edition is still sold, but is not the one I'd recommend)
