A little gem

I was required to purchase this text as a freshman in high school in 1972. Its use was required in my English classes all four years of high school, and I continued to refer to it often during both my undergraduate and graduate classes. I have kept my original copy all these years. I am now a high school teacher, and still use many of the examples and exercises with my students. This and The Elements of Style should be on any serious writer's desk.
