Book happiness: Strunk & White's The Elements of Style Illustrated
One of my favourite books of all time. I had no idea of the existence of this beautifully bound illustrated hardback edition, which I chanced upon while browsing the shelves at Reader's Feast.
The illustrations could have been far better, which is unfortunate. They're good, although I just can't help but wonder how much better the book would have been if someone like Robert Ingpen or Shaun Tan was let loose on it :) But, it is still a great keeper.

Also one of my favorite books of all time. I'm having a hard time imagining it with illustrations, though. Times like these are trying, soulwise :)
