Strictly English is a book by Simon Heffer. It is a forerunner to Simply English, which I have already read.
While Simply is an A to Z of words and how they are often miused, Strictly is a work of following prose. It goes from subject to subject describing the English language in detail.
In the introduction to Simply, he describes it as complementing Strictly. This is for the most part true. However, there is a significant amount of cross over. I regularly found myself skipping through sections because I had already read the point in Simply. On balance, I think this might be the more valuable of the two.
