Hi! Anyone have any suggestions on a good book on writing and a book on grammar? I have read Stephen King's "On Writing", and though it was a good book, it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I am looking for a book to help me learn proper grammar when writing essays and business letters and such. Any suggestions? |

Wow! I guess it is unanimous then eh? LOL Thanks! If I remember correctly, Stephen King recommended this book as well, in "On Writing". Guess, I'll be visiting Amazon.com. Thanks Again! |

There seems to be some parts missing in the online version, specifically the E.B. White contributions. The price of the paperback fourth edition is only $6.95 and it is a convenient thing to have. Well worth the cost. |
