This is a great book. Simple, understandable and straight forward advice from a real master of prose. If you only have one style guide, this is the one it should be.
Good old Strunk and White. I've owned a copy for decades. It was a text book for a high school English course and still resides on my bookshelf (not the high school copy, I bought another one years later). Nice to see it freely available.
i just checked it out. not really a lot of sex in it. does it get better and does it have a happy ending?
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Yeah, if you wanna write, this book is where you begin.
Plus, one of these guys (E B White) wrote Charlotte's Web, one of my favorite books of all time.
I use that copy often in my writing. On Writing Well by William Zinsser is another good book to utilize, too.

I've had a copy of this book, in paperback form, since the 1960s when I was in college working on a degree in English. It's still on one of my bookshelves in my library-cum-sewing room.
