1.	[no image]	The Elements of Style With Index from Demco Media Customer Review: Great book, my copy got me through high school and I gave this one as a gift.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Fahrenheit 451 (Cliffs Notes) from Cliffs Notes Price: $5.99 Customer Review: If ever there is a formula for the perfect novel, 451 has the ingredients. It would be one part science fiction masked in a glaze of poetic impulse, settled on a bed of classic literature soaking up the juices of vast philosophical thought. The burning of books is a horror to any who love the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		On Writing from Pocket Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I've been away from writing for many years and thought I'd start with King's book to get me back into the swing of things. It worked. (I may not be writing to publish, but I am writing--and that's always the first hard step.) King includes myriad practical tips and techniques for buckling down,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays from Back Bay Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: I never received the book. Wrote to the guy and he said he'd re-send it. I think I'll see Santa Claus first.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Elements of Style: The Original Edition from Coyote Canyon Press Price: $3.90 Customer Review: Elements of style--should be required reading for every freshman, high school or college...All of the rules in one tiny book.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: The pressure is tremendous. To write a review of a book on writing -- the review almost has to smack of winning a Pulitzer. Well, I'm no writer, so I'll do my best. The frankness of Lamott is very refreshing. So many books on writing just cover the technical approaches and don't really address... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Wreck This Journal from Perigee Trade Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I've been looking for something to help me express myself, considering some personal issues I've been going through lately. While I think this book is very fun and well-thought-out, it certainly is annoying when you're just not in the mood to be creative but want to do something to make yourself... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation from Gotham Price: $9.20 Customer Review: If you've been living in a cave, the subtitle explains what Eats, Shoots and Leaves is about: "The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation." Since I'm a bit of a grammar geek (albeit an imperfect and occasionally lazy one), I absolutely loved it. There wasn't much that was news to me. Ones vs.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Chicago Manual of Style from University Of Chicago Press Price: $34.65 Customer Review: This thorough and indispensible treatment of the structure of the English language should be in every writer's library, every home that intends to use correct English. Its arrangement and index are clear, its examples apt. I recommend it as a necessary extension of The Elements of Style by Strunk... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream from Vintage Price: $11.16 Customer Review: How can a book be hilarious and drab at the same time? Well, imagine this situation: you've arrived at a huge party with your friends. You're really pumped, you're telling jokes, and everyone is laughing, and your friends are enjoying your company, and everyone is having a good time. But then, a few... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Plot & Structure: (Techniques And Exercises For Crafting A Plot That Grips Readers From Start To Finish) (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: Every so often I get insecure in my efforts to write a decent book, and I check out one of these craft books. Often they help, often not. This one falls in the latter category. It outlines the most common concepts of the most common fiction (the necessity of conflict, an objective for the main... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting from HarperEntertainment Price: $23.10 Customer Review: Can't compare it to other books as I have not read many. I liked 'Save The Cat! a lot - but that is more of an outline to work from. This is the underlying theory. Should be helpful to writers in any genre.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		On Writing Well, 30th Anniversary Edition: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction (On Writing Well) from Collins Price: $10.17 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


14.		Mla Handbook for Writers of Research Papers from Topeka Bindery Price: $20.88 Customer Review: I ordered this book from the Amazon marketplace at a dirt-cheap price. I received it in pristine condition and found it to be everything I'd hoped. It has clear, concise instructions for students writing English papers in MLA style. The book is easy to understand and navigable. I highly recommend it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Much Ado About Nothing (Cliffs Notes) from Cliffs Notes Price: $5.99 Customer Review: This adaptation of the classic is perfectly understandable, humorous, beautiful and a joy to behold. Even those who are bored or daunted by Shakespeare's work will enjoy this bountiful, star studded film.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Deja Dead from Pocket Star Price: $7.99 Customer Review: Haven't had time to read it yet, but my husband (who is visually impaired listened to it, and what I heard was very good).	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Clean, Well-Lighted Sentences: A Writer's Guide to Avoiding the Most Common Errors in Grammar and Punctuation from W. W. Norton Price: $14.93 Customer Review: The past tense of "to light" is "lit", otherwise it jars the ear as much as "bringed" or "bited" would do. Has American English really declined to that level? "I lighted the fire" sounds like English was not the speaker's mother tongue. And when I see the author's devotees writing sentences... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing from Holt Paperbacks Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I bought this book because I enjoyed reading the Grammar Girl transcripts online. What a great buy! I can honestly say that I currently am using it 4 or 5 times a week. I am trying to improve my grammar and sound more educated and this book has been a tremendously help. It is so easy to use the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Couldn't Keep It to Myself: Wally Lamb and the Women of York Correctional Institution (Testimonies from our Imprisoned Sisters) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.19 Customer Review: After having seen Wally Lamb during a book signing/reading, and having several of the women who are in his book there with him, I decided I simply had to read this book. And I'm so glad that I did! I've always had a certain misconception about what people who go to prison are like. I suppose this is... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle from Rugged Land Customer Review: I had seen the book The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle by Steven Pressfield recommended by quite a few experts in the field of creativity and productivity. I finally got around to putting it on hold at the library, and I eventually worked my way to the top. That should tell you... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
