Summary of this Book... | ||
An easy to read primer on Structure, Style, Readability, and Grammer. The book is small and nicely bound. Turn of the century illustrations and art add charm and character. The author draws from his teaching experience to highlight twenty "immutable" principles of good writing and thirty common rules of punctuation. In the author's words, "Because of the pervasive nature of writing, this book is suitable for a wide-ranging audience, including writing aficionados from all walks of life." | ||
