And here is something totally different for you…

I read The Elements of Style several times in my life but I recently bought the illustrated edition of this little “bible.” The Elements of Style (illustrated) by Strunk/White/Kalman is not only a classic but something every English language writer (and reader) should check out! The colorful illustrations by Maira Kalman make the reading even more entertaining.

It’s not a surprise to me that this “style manual” has also appeared on a bestseller list. It’s not just a great, quick, and useful reading; it also makes a great gift for anyone interested…
