1.	[no image]	On Writing Well from Harpercollins College Div Customer Review: Everyone can write, and everyone has to write. There is something magical about putting that abstract dream onto the concreteness of writing. The printing press and the internet revolutionized the world because it democratized information. Everyone had a chance to share their voice and to learn from... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Inventing the Truth: The Art and Craft of Memoir from Mariner Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: As a personal and corporate biographer, I hear many different life stories and have learned that no one approach or format fits all. This collection of essays is a splendid example of how different individuals see their lives in their own ways. The essays together also serve to reassure any would-be... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Writing About Your Life: A Journey into the Past from Da Capo Press Price: $10.92 Customer Review: Zinsser weaves "how to" tips and discussion into his own memoirs. His section on cutting a broad project (write about baseball) down to manageable size (Pirates in spring training) is excellent for its step-by-step thinking process. He offers equally good thinking on many other things that can cause... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Easy to Remember: The Great American Songwriters and Their Songs from David R Godine Price: $14.25 Customer Review: As a fan of great American songwriters, I really enjoyed this book. It's wonderful to have it in my collection.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Writing To Learn from Collins Price: $10.96 Customer Review: Zinsser's book is both an anthology and a narrative about his experience with the concept of "writing across the curriculum." He recounts how good writing in other fields helped break down his misconception that certain subjects were, at best boring, or at worst, unlearnable. He posits that writing... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Spring Training from University of Pittsburgh Press Price: $14.00 Customer Review: After reading "Spring Training," I could not remember the last time I smiled more while reading. Zinsser captures the true essence of baseball's idyllic past, a past rife with the smell of grass and dirt and hot dogs and worn leather. As Zinsser explores the Pirates' spring training, he prophesies... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	They Went: The Art and Craft of Travel Writing (The Writer's Craft) from Houghton Mifflin Customer Review: The art and craft of travel writing is exactly what it sounds like. The introduction gives a brief layout of the chapters ahead. In the introduction the main points are presented for each section. Ian Frazier writing about the Great Plains presents many facts of the Great Plains, but the real... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.	[no image]	Extraordinary Lives: The Art and Craft of American Biography from Diane Pub Co Price: $25.00 Customer Review: Conceived in 1985 by the Book-of-the-Month Club and the New York Public Library as a series of six lectures by noted biographers, Extraordinary Lives was tidied up for publication by William Zinsser, author of On Writing Well, a first-rate how-to book for writers. Fortunately, Zinsser also included... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		Worlds of Childhood: The Art and Craft of Writing for Children from Mariner Books Price: $14.95 Customer Review: I really wish authors would stick to the subject of writing and resist the temptation to give America the finger, too. People, stick to how to write for children and leave out the stuff about how rotten American is and was.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		American Places: A Writer's Pilgrimage to 16 of This Country's Most Visited and Cherished Sites from Paul Dry Books Price: $11.96 Customer Review: In 1990 William Zinsser took to his pilgrimage to explore the United States. When people think of a leisure vacation they think of Paris, Rome, or Amsterdam, but what about the places right in our back yard? William Zinsser did just that. He took what he knew about America and explored it. He set... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

18.		Mitchell & Ruff: An American Profile in Jazz from Paul Dry Books Price: $12.41 Customer Review: This book is a masterpiece. Zinnser delivers what is perhaps the archetypical story of the development of serious American artists. Zinnser is one of the most talented and overlooked writers, and he tells the story of Mitchell and Ruff with humor, clarity, and intelligence. If most books about jazz... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
