5.0 out of 5 stars The classic remains unchallenged, 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The Manual may have its opponents (particularly those who prefer, as the gentleman from Florida pointed out, to not place a comma before an article prefacing an end of a series), but it remains the pinnacle of style guides for the professional and dedicated writer. For a more pedestrian or student writer, it may not be the best choice (I suggest The Scribner Handbook, DiYanni and Hoy), but for the high academic, there is no other choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential text, but not for everyone, 16 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This is an essential text for writers who write for publication. While it has a great amount of grammar and style content, it also a bunch of technical content of interest primarily to professional authors (e.g., the proper way to number pages in a book).

If you are a student or business writer, you may be better served by a usage guide such as Follet's Modern American Usage, Elements of Style by Stunk and White, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read.... Must buy!, 27 Nov 2002
By A Customer
A really rich, melifluous book. Authoritative and simply indespensible for anyone wanting to do any serious writing. Okay, it looks pricey, but you'll still be reading it in years to come.

I first came across it as a technician writing technical manuals in the early nineties. It is simply indespensible.
