This book was incredibly helpful in my quest to write better articles for Wired.com. I plan on reading it again at some point. The real world tips and hints for saying what you mean succinctly. The section about writing ledes was also wonderfully eye-opening.

This is a great book to read for anyone who needs to know how to write - well...there are a ton of things in here that you can pick up for grammar, punctuation and spelling that you would never guess you have been doing wrong.
