That's _The_Elements_of_Style_ by Will Strunk and E. B. White. ^^^^^^ The "little book" advocates concise, active language. However, its main focus is word choice. An appropriate companion to Strunk and White is _Notes_Toward_A_New_Rhetoric_ by Francis Christensen. It, too, is a tiny paperback, but its main focus is effective sentence and paragraph structure. Another tiny paperback is, of course, _The_C_Programming_Language_ by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. Cheryl Stewart --
