Summary:

        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.
