"Toss out that useless Strunk and White and pick this up. It's not exactly the Chicago Manual of Style, but it helps with a lot of tricky choices about what is proper style. And it's amusing."
"If you had to choose one book (besides the dictionary) to help you with those nagging doubts about your periods, commas and compound-complex sentences, this is probably the one. It's arranged alphabetically so when you can't remember the difference between emigrate and immigrate, the rule is easy to find. Writen with a sly sense of humor, as any good book on English usage must be to be readable."
