Review: An excellent product - An excellent product Review: A useful tool for writers - recommended by Stephen King - This is a concise and helpful book designed to eliminate clumsy and incorrect usage of English. To give a few examples: 'Less than ten' is incorrect, whilst 'fewer than ten' is correct. 'This man, who is my friend,' is better written 'This man, my friend,' 'I should like tea' is usually correct, 'I would like tea' is usually not. 'Worthwhile' is best avoided altogether - not exactly incorrect but poor style. And so it goes on. I found this book moderately useful, although it does seem to concentrate on American English rather than UK English. Some of the advice doesn't apply on this side of the Atlantic. For example, we tend not to use `most' as an abbreviation of `almost' so we're not going to make the mistake of saying `most everyone' as many Americans do. Some reviewers commented that the kindle version was hard to read, but I didn't have any problems with it. I think it must have been reformatted as a result of some early negative reviews. On the whole this is a great book for anyone who's got into sloppy writing habits (like me). Stephen King recommends it in his book `On Writing' - and recommendations don't get much stronger than that. It's probably fair to summarise the message of the book by saying `express yourself in as few words as possible and be as precise as possible'. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 302,935 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 45 in Language References 201 in Grammar, Structure & Syntax 3,896 in School Education & Teaching | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (3,360) | | Dimensions | 12.7 x 0.46 x 20.32 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1499142234 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1499142235 | | Item weight | 100 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 72 pages | | Publication date | 13 April 2014 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![The Elements of Style - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cDmjB8DFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent product *by B***T on 7 January 2026* An excellent product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful tool for writers - recommended by Stephen King *by D***I on 10 June 2015* This is a concise and helpful book designed to eliminate clumsy and incorrect usage of English.

Small but powerful. In the case of this book, less is most definitely more. The information it presents is in small, bite sized chunks, easy to understand and even easier to digest. It answers all you literature questions, punctuation, phrasing, syntax, sentence structure, etc. It's just invaluable This book was recommended to me by a fellow author and I can't thank him enough for such excellent advice. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Elements of Style - Plot and Structure: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting a Plot that Grips Readers from Start to Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/215293964-the-elements-of-style](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/215293964-the-elements-of-style) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
