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.

Legitimately asking: Outside of working at The Economist, why is spending $17 on this worthwhile?

[stblack]

That’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.

There 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.

For entries like this:

> Frankenstein: was not the monster, but its creator.

Among my favorites:

> Short words: use them.

for garner it says 'means store and not gather'. OED says gather or acquire. Not sure how they distinguish this in articles or interpret it.

It’s a great addition to your faux “I’ve read all these books” backdrop for video calls.

Indeed just buy it!

Or if you can't afford to buy it use one of the free style guides!
