BOOKS ON WRITING




You can forget Harbrace College Handbook or Strunk and White Elements of Style as your definitive writing reference guides.  The best book I have run across, and the book I most often use when writing or grammar questions arise is the Writer Source 2000.   This is a junior high school guide to writing, thinking and learning; and the most understandable, convenient and definitive book on writing in my library.   It is available used through Amazon for as little as four dollars.  







If I only had one writing guide, this would be my pick.

  1. I just looked on Amazon, a recommended reference book for a skill that I use & can us a lot of help with for just $4? It's a no brainer... it also didn't show up.
    I did more looking (google) & found it-
    https://www.amazon.com/Write-Source-2000-Thinking-Learning/dp/066946774X

    It's on the way, thanks!

  2. I'll have to check that out. At least it's within my budget.
