Spines, Flicks, and WaxFirst to rec“This classic book on writing and style is a straight-forward guide on writing well. At 105 pages, it is perfect for writers in a hurry (the authors are very cognizant of their readers time) and, for those on a budget, I have the book's Project Gutenburg link below, where it is free to read. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/37134/37134-h/37134-h.htm”

Anna Sokha“As a non-native English speaker and a self-professed lover of the written word, this book is a fixture on my desk, which is also my dining table, which is also my coffee table. It’s a fixture on them all! A writing manual made so companionable by Maira Kalman’s warm art.”
