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."

This type of Book is good for...
Handy, easy to read reference for writers.
I especially liked...
The layout and readability of this book. It is a precious addition to my collection.
I didn't like...
Overwhelmed by the amount of material packed into this little red book.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Keep it within easy reach of my writing table.
This Book made me feel...
... a burning desire to write readable material.
The author of this Book...
Brandon Royal is a corporate accountant with international experience. His desire to write resulted in competing fiction and scriptwriting at Harvard University.

Again, in the words of the author. "I am an accountant by training, an anthropologist by disposition, a writer by choice, and a bar patron by preference."
I recommend this Book because...
It is a well written reference book, educational yet light hearted.
I don't recommend this Book because...
It attracts me like a moth to flame.
