Pre-Owned 100 Ways to Improve Your Writing : Proven Professional Techniques for Writing with Style and Power

For such a small, lightweight book, this one packed more of a punch than books twice its size or price. It has a table of contents, so if I need to look up a specific topic, I can go right to it. When I'm in the middle of writing something, I don't want to have to stop and browse through half a book just to find an answer I need. Instead, I can just go straight to the page, get my answer, then quickly back to my writing while I'm still "in the writing zone". They not only tell you what NOT to do, but they actually explain the reason, and give you alternative words to use. They also give "Do's and Don'ts" examples that made things even easier to understand. The other books I bought didn't even do that. Add to all this the fact that, as with most Walmart orders, it arrived a few days early. I kind of wish Walmart would let us see inside the book, like Amazon does, but that's Walmart's choice, not this book's author. So the book still deserves it's perfect rating. I willget a ton of use from it. I'm very glad I got it.
