Another writer's bible in town?

Anyone taken a look at Adios, Strunk & White by Gary and Glynis Hoffman?

The book claims to be a modernized version of the old golden-lettered writing pamphlet we keep carrying around folded in our back pocket, Elements of Style.

Apparently it's been around some time and in various editions.

Is this book even a big deal? Or is the title just a bit of advertising fluff? I saw a copy in Barnes & Nobles and my interest was piqued.

Thoughts?

It's amazing how many how-to writers takes aim at EOS...

They are a common target, it seems. Though it's bound to happen when it's so often touted as "the" guide to writing.

I'll stick with my EOS thanks. It's served me well so far.

It's an excellent guideline no doubt but no interest to compare notes?
