... many giggle-making boo-boos.
—— Spectator... a delicious concoction of mangled English taken from dodgy menus, hotel signs and well-meaning (but sadly misguided) tourist attractions.
—— WanderlustNo one writes about language as clearly as Steven Pinker, and this is his best book yet
—— Financial TimesImmensely readable and stimulating. Pinker is a master at making complex ideas palatable
—— IndependentAwesome ... Pinker writes lucidly and elegantly, and leavens the text with scores of perfectly judged anecdotes, jokes, cartoons and illustrations
—— Daily MailGreat editor: great teacher of editors
—— Peter Stothard, editor of the Times Literary SupplementHarry Evans is the journalist we all wanted to be. He could write, sub, design, re-write, think - everything short of standing on the streets and selling the paper himself. Essential English has for generations been the bible of any aspiring Harry Evans. It is as fresh today as it was when it was first published nearly thirty years ago
—— Alan Rusbridger, Editor-in-Chief, GuardianWelcome back to the standard and brilliant text on written English for journalism. Good writing is good writing, and Harold Evans is a good writer, when all around are letting standards slip. Essential English should be essential reading for all journalism students, and all journalists who seek to improve their writing
