Maybe it's been changed in the updated version? I have the illustrated Elements of Style, as seen here, and rule 17 says to omit needless words!
DONT GET THIS ONE: http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Illustrated-William-Strunk/dp/0143112724/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1451791859&sr=1-1&keywords=elements+of+style+illustrated+by+kalman
This is the most popular illustrated one on Amazon. I don't know why it's so popular. A few reviewers point out that it's the wrong version, and if you click "look inside," the book will in fact reveal itself to be a piece of crap.
I bought my GOOD copy at a bookstore so good luck online. I think this one is right, but don't take my word for it.
The illustrations are basically funny and whimsical paintings of some of the example sentences. They aren't hugely helpful but I think it's worth getting the illustrated one anyway.
If you're looking for a grammar guide, check out The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White. I found that my grammar improved significantly after reading this little book.
