“According to the St. Louis Dispatch, this “excellent book, which should go off to college with every freshman, is recognized as the best book of its kind we have.” It should be the “. . . daily companion of anyone who writes for a living and, for that matter, anyone who writes at all” (Greensboro Daily New). “No book in shorter space, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume” (The Boston Globe).
