BERKLEY The Oxford Essential Guide to Writing : Kane, Thomas S: desertcart.ae: Books Review: I use this book in writing lectures. Review: Wow - what detail. Paragraphs, sentences, clauses...You may benefit more from this is you have at least a partial understanding of grammar but I found it fascinating - It might come across as a bit old-fashioned and certainly not the most sparky of tomes for the copy-writer but it's solid and methodical and has all the right information for the writer who wants to express their ideas/opinions/facts in the best possible way.

Wow - what detail. Paragraphs, sentences, clauses...You may benefit more from this is you have at least a partial understanding of grammar but I found it fascinating - It might come across as a bit old-fashioned and certainly not the most sparky of tomes for the copy-writer but it's solid and methodical and has all the right information for the writer who wants to express their ideas/opinions/facts in the best possible way.

Informative guide to thoughtful writing. Some of the content is slightly outdated (writing conventions are changing so quickly now that we spend so much time writing and reading online), but the basic concepts are solid and will help you think more clearly and purposefully about your writing—professional or personal, fiction or non-fiction. I'm a copyeditor, so I'm using Kane's advice to improve others' writing, and I still find it very helpful.

Oxford always comes through with reference books that you need. I love to read and some day I would love to write so I'm always looking for reference books to guide me in that endeavor. The Essential Guide to Writing is such a book, it's concise, never embellishes and never fails to give you guidance to your pressing need right when you need it.
