The most recent, full guide is available on Amazon for $2.99 on Kindle, and a reasonable $17 or so for the paperback.
I'm not sure that this version is legal to host, though it is an older version.
- Someone1234 6y agoLegitimately asking: Outside of working at The Economist, why is spending $17 on this worthwhile?
- koolba 6y agoIt’s a great addition to your faux “I’ve read all these books” backdrop for video calls.

- stblack 6y agoAmong my favorites: > Short words: use them.
- neweraccount 6y agofor garner it says 'means store and not gather'. OED says gather or acquire. Not sure how they distinguish this in articles or interpret it.
- stblack 6y agoThat’s a reasonable question. I bought The Economist Style Guide shortly after university and I’ve used its recommendations regularly over many years. It’s had a massively positive payback for me. It’s surprisingly versatile advice, whether crafting emails, reports, proposals, or proofing the work of others. The Economist Guides are all excellent.
- pletnes 6y agoThere are several good style guides around. It might not matter which of the good ones you use. If you use one consistently, though, your writing will improve over time. Whether this will help you in your concrete work/life for a value >17USD is another matter. Good written communication is helpful in most knowledge work, though.
- youngtaff 6y agoIndeed just buy it! Or if you can't afford to buy it use one of the free style guides!
