"The best "How to Write" book ever written."
Written By: D. Estrin
Elements of style--should be required reading for every freshman, high school or college...All of the rules in one tiny book.
"Elements of style - Good reference for any writer to keep around"
Written By: Barley and Hops
When going through this book, it became quite evident how much the english language, both spoken and written, has changed in the past 80-90 years. Still much, if not most, of the content is applicable and it is a very good reference. I would agree with the NY Times when they said, "Buy it, study it, enjoy it..."
"Continues to be the best"
Written By: Maritsa Darmandzhyan
This book is a wonderful reference for clear and concise writing. It has helped me improved my writing tremendously. One of the reasons why it is so effective is that it gives good examples of bad writing and lets you compare it with the better kind so that you can see the difference between them. The book has been used by many writers in the past, so it gives you the sense that it has truly helped many.
"Decent Desktop Reference for the Student / Professional"
Written By: Christopher Fiorentino
Strunk's work is a solid baseline for grammar, punctuation, and composition. If your workplace tends to create its own standards for linguistics, it might be valuable to keep this readily available.

It is somewhat limited in terms of all the possible usages of punctuation, and admits as much in its first pages. While this is a valuable reference for most scenarios, it can't stand alone.
"The print leaves much to be desired."
Written By: T. Knight
The book is great, I mean it's a classic but this version looks like it came right off the photo copier of the original print for 100 years ago. It's horribly fussy and the copy spacing is poor. I suggest finding a version by a different publisher.
