This book was required in my college english course in 1978. I had always struggled with writing and this book was like turning a light on. It gave me the tools to produce a solid paper quickly and was my bible though college and grad school. Since I wished I had it sooner, I will buy it for my daughter who is entering high school next year. It should become her bible too!

I love this book. I t not only helped my writing but my public speaking and deep yet my basic philosophy on communication. He demands that the writer take risk. And I will challenge you to read a few pages and I bet you'll love it too. Unless your so in love with your every word you won't edit yourself, than this book isn't for you.
