The Strunk/White book, though, is essential to me, to my work. It's the bible, or one of them.
For better or for worse, I really do need reminders on some of the style rules. The chapters on composition are worth their weight in paper pulp. Writing is hard work, and I need all the help I can get. This little book has come to my rescue many times. It can also unleash me, get my creativity going, because it helps me think about what good sentences sound like, what a pleasure it is to read them, and how rewarding it is to write them.
