On Writing Well
William Zinsser
William Zinsser's On Writing Well seems to me to have the same purpose as Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, only three times longer. If you know The Elements of Style, you already see the problem.
"Omit needless words" is the central message of The Elements of Style. A book with the same purpose, but three times longer must include many unneeded words.
I could say more, but those would be needless words.
Not recommended.
