Summary: I wouldn't suggest buying this book. You're better off Googling grammar rules as you get suspicious about your writing.
Pro: Good summary of rules, with examples. I think the world would be a better place if everyone followed some rules: e.g., commas for dependent clauses, clarity on a statement's subject.
Con: Some rules feel dated. They cover (1) rules that nobody breaks today or (2) wrong rules. An example of a wrong rule is suggesting that "We read a book, and trusting all of its rules, we made mistakes" is correct, while "We read a book and, trusting all of its rules, we made mistakes" is wrong (note comma's position). Language is a fluid organism; using an early-20th-century book today poses a risk to your style.
Suggestion: stick to this: [...] . When in doubt, Google it.Get more detail about The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition.
