Why should I spend (however much it costs) for this when I can find a copy of Strunk and White in any library (or buy a used copy from Amazon for $4.00(including shipping))?

You're right, you could probably learn similar things from "Strunk and White," but right now the problem is that most people check their grammar rules from random websites. Try google searching for any rule, and I guarantee you that you'll find contradictory advice... So in comparison to "random grammar advice from the web" this book is superb in its comprehensiveness, clarity, and succinctness. The author doesn't have a print version yet, but I deemed this book to be "worth printing"-level quality, so I have it on my desk now. (undisclaimer: I wasn't friends with author before I read the book.)
