Third printing thus. Signed by E.B. White on the front free endpaper and inscribed in chicken scratch to Louisa Kennedy (1934-2007), "For Louisa - whose writing and clarifications will one day, [illegible] and, no doubt, enlarge on what Will Strunk and I have advocated in this 'little book.' Affectionately, E. B. White Aug. '59." xiv, [ii], 71 pp. Bound in publisher's black cloth with spine lettered in gilt.
