Mansoor's review
The Elements of Style (Fourth Edition) by William Strunk Jr.
This is the oft-cited classic. If you haven't read it, read it. I know that seems an overly strong recommendation, but the value of this book's guidelines can't be understated.
Elements of Style contains the most valuable advice for any writer: “Omit needless words. Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecssary sentences.”
Also, the chapter “Words and Expressions Commonly Misused” is not only helpful, but funny.
