Summary: If you write anything, get this book!
Comment: This book is a MUST HAVE for anybody that writes anything. I've purchased it a few times because I
end up giving it away to friends. It's easy to read, funny and quite practical. When I first read it
it changed my perspective on the whole world of writing. It should be required reading, for writing
;-)

Summary: Recommended
Comment: If I had a time machine, I would pack a bag to deliver to my former self. In that bag, along with
the dating advice and stock tips, I would put "The Elements of Style" and this book.

Customer Rating:

the point. The author teaches by example. You won't be sorry...

Summary: Classic Writing on Writing
Comment: This is the 30th anniversary edition of Zinsser's classic book on writing that should be reprinted
as long as people are writing in the English language. Parts I, II and IV are a primer on how to
write well. Along with Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, Zinsser's three sections say all
there is to say on writing nonfiction--read it, understand it and review it often. He also writes
in a personal, encouraging style. For example, he tells the reader that even for him, writing is
hard work. That is a clue on what it takes to write well and a message to anyone struggling with an
article, school paper, report or any other written product--even the pros write, rewrite and
rewrite. Section III is a manual on writing specific types of products--business, interviews,
travel, sports, etc. If you want to write, buy this book and don't leave Amazon until you buy
Strunk and White too. With these two books, you never need to read another how-to book on writing.
