A half-century later, skilled and novice writers alike continue to rely on this timeless reference.aThe philosophy is simple. Writing clearly and correctly doesn't have to be difficult. With this handbook of practical methods and wisdom, everyone can learn to express themselves on paper.aThe many examples and exercises guide you through the writing process: getting started; organizing your ideas; connecting your ideas; choosing the right tone; making your meaning clear; giving your writing flair and punch; using correct grammar.aThe 50th Anniversary Edition contains all of the tried-and-true techniques that have made this book a best-seller. Now with new features for today's writers, non-biased writing, contemporary examples, and more, The Classic Guide to Better Writing continues to be the foundation of excellence in style and usage., Every phase of writing is addressed in this authoritative, practical guide. Specific topics include: organizing information, discovering a personal voice, enhancing readability and checking grammar and spelling.

    Book was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
