If you cite Elements of Style in a grammar battle with an editor, you win (unless he can counter with Chicago Manual of Style.) The same will not be true of Basics of Clarity and Grace.

In short, as a reference get Elements of Style (and the Chicago Manual) as a learning tool, get Basics of Clarity and Grace.
