The Elements of Style is a short, timeless and foundational book on writing style and grammar. It is exceptionally well written and an essential writers desk reference. The authors stripped away all the fluff and kept the best of the best to help anyone write more clearly and concisely.

.Write It Right: A Handbook for Students (Palgrave Study Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Handwriting
by: Martin Coyle; John Peck

August 05, 2005
Whilst aimed at students, this book will prove indispensable to anyone who wishes to improve their writing. All the standard topics are covered, such as punctuation and grammar. But, the authors also provide excellent advice on matters such as writing clearly, essay structure and common errors.

Most books of this type are dull and boring to read. 'Write it Right' is a cut above the rest; the authors have created a superbly useful book that will fuel the reader's desire to enhance their writing.

.How to Make a Journal of Your Life
City Travel Guides > Books > Handwriting
by: Dan Price

1999-09
After a series of self-produced locally printed journals - the Moonlight Chronicles - Dan Price has written this 'how to' book encouraging people to be observant, and to be 'mindful' - aware of the uniqueness of each moment and the beauty of ordinary things. There are plenty of drawings, photographs and quotes to accompany Dan's observations, and advice on drawing and writing.This is inspiring stuff, and it's hard not to be struck by Dan's commitment to his chosen path, that of the 'destinationless traveller' and wandering artist. This is much more than a 'how to draw' book and closer really to a 'how to live' book.

.Writing Essays: A Guide for Students in English and the Humanities (Routledge Study Guides): A Guide for Students in English and the Humanities
City Travel Guides > Books > Handwriting
by: Richard Marggraf Turley

September 28, 2000
I study History and English joint honours at UCL, and was struggling with essay assignments. Until I bought this book. In a word, RMT rocks! His guide is funny, to the point, and very, very, cool. I would never have thought learning to write essays could be fun - but this book proved me wrong. I've lent it to all my friends too (sorry, RMT!). But I can recommend buying this - all the other reviewers here are right: this is the best book of its kind. My essays went up from 3rd/low 2.ii to mid-high 2.1. Can't say more than that, really.

.How to Write Better Essays (Palgrave Study Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Handwriting
by: Greetham, Bryan

February 29, 2008
This book is worth its weight in gold for anyone who needs to write essays and I have recommended it to many of my friends. I have always been able to write decent enough essays, getting A grade GCSEs and A/ B grade Alevels, but my undergraduate essays never quite seemed to reach the top marks. I couldn't quite understand this though because I always got top marks for my scientific reports, literature reviews, and exams yet my essays never seemed to go above a 2:1. If I put in a huge amount of effort I would be able to reach a high 2:1, while hardly any effort would get me a low 2:1, I just couldn't seem to break out of it! That was until I read this book.

This book was an absolute delight to read. It is extremely well written, ... Read More:

.Reading & Writing Chinese: Simplified Character Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Handwriting
by: William McNaughton, Li Ying

October 31, 2003
Although this book is quite comprehensive with around 3000 characters (of which 1000 are presented in detail), the order in which they are presented seems almost random with common and uncommon characters and radicals all mixed togethor in no apparant sequence. Something I find a bit annoying.

.Aristotle's Poetics for Screenwriters: Storytelling Secrets from the Greatest Mind in Western Civilisation
City Travel Guides > Books > Handwriting
by: Michael Tierno

December 01, 2002
Ditto for the first reviewer. I have a large collection of screenwriting books and have taken several screenwiting courses - but I just wish I'd come across this little gem years ago. One can clearly see where a lot of "new" screenwriting books obtain their underlying theory - directly from Aristotle. The book is a wonderful read; extremely understandable and well written. If you are interested in improving your own screenwriting skills, then I would recommend this book wholeheartedly. The author, Michael Tierno, summarises Aristotle's arguments and theory in an exemplary manner - 5 stars.
