 Excellent resource December 3, 2007

This is one of the few writing books that I return to again and again. It emphasizes creating clean, concise, active and engaging copy. It's filled with examples of what not to do from news stories (with corrected versions, too) and is thin enough to read in just a few hours.
Any journalist will find this book a powerful tool to help improve their own news writing.

I couldn't believe my eyes! Wouldn't you expect this writing guide to be grammatically correct, at the very least? It isn't. Something else it isn't is quickly accessible. You have to read through the sarcasm, and then see a "corrected" version of a poorly written example. Unfortunately, that version needs work, too. Usually, I keep every book I buy, or give them to friends or charities, but this one went into the trash. Yikes!
