This book is easy to use for everyone, including English majors. It’s great for refreshing your grammar and punctuation – the quizzes are doable and challenging. Straus will teach you how to write clearly and be more direct in your writing, so students can avoid misunderstandings when communicating on paper.

The Blue Book is like an expanded version of The Elements of Style. It is very well organized and crystal clear. The final chapter has quizzes that cover everything. The Blue Book website has interactive multiple choice tests, which I strongly recommend. The book is available for free as a pdf(just goggle “The Blue Book pdf”), but a reference book this good is worth getting in paper form.
