The Elements of Business Writing is clearly modeled after Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style", and it is a worthy addition. Authors Blake and Bly essentially have re-written the classic "Elements", and transformed it into "Business Elements". Lots of specific usage and style pointers, which I found very helpful. A quick read, may be somewhat of a review if you have written on the job for years, but this book also makes an excellent refresher for all the nuances that make writing go from good to great.

This is the type of book that collects dust at the bottom of your bookshelf, if it does not find it's way into the charity throw out bin. I wouldn't bother.

This book, with an obvious nod to Strunk and White (which it surpasses), lists 67 principles of good writing, with about two pages each of details and examples. It's on the short list of recommended resources in my book The McGraw-Hill 36-Hour Course in Business Writing and Communication.
