The Elephants of Style : A Trunkload of Tips on the Big Issues and Gray Areas of Contemporary American English

Advice on good writing from everybody's favorite editorial curmudgeon

Persnickety, cantankerous, opinionated, entertaining, hilarious, wise...these are a few of the adjectives reviewers used to describe good-writing maven Bill Walsh's previous book, Lapsing Into a Comma. Now, picking up where he left off in Lapsing, Walsh addresses the dozen or so biggest issues that every writer or editor must master. He also offers a trunkload of good advice on the many little things that add up to good writing. Featuring all the elements that made Lapsing such a fun read, including Walsh's trademark acerbic wit and fascinating digressions on language and its discontents, The Elephants of Style provides:

* Tips on how to tame the "elephants of style"--the most important, frequently confused elements of good writing

* More of Walsh's popular "Curmudgeon's Stylebook"--includes entries such as Snarky Specificity, Metaphors, Near and Far, Actually is the New Like, and other uses and misuses of language

* Expert advice for writers and editors on how to work together for best results

MIRORROR MIRROR ON THE WALL WHO IS DUMMMIST OF ALL?

comgar, shut the f***k up. Who said RS is the best? I try to avoid it for the usual reasons.

DepositFiles is now a lot friendlier than it used to be.

I think best option is to upload to both RS and DF, that way post stays up longer.

Anyone got Walsh's earlier book, "Lapsing Into A Comma"? Can't find it anywhere on the Net.

It must be around somewhere. Plz post or pm me if you know of a link.

ISBN-10: 0809225352

In the meantime, check out the "Sharp Points" page on his website:

By the way, for anyone who is wondering about the odd title of this book, it's a parody of the famous "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White, which you can find early editions of online, such as here: http://orwell.ru/Download/Style/etes_htm.zip

If you are interested in good writing style you'll enjoy this one.

Spot on Maxand! The waiting times for RS are becoming outrageous,and RS is especially annoying for smaller files,so RS and DF present a nice choice.Thanks for a fine post,Avaxmore!
