I have read it once and am currently reading it again, slowly. I like the part on sentence formation. It even discusses mimetic rhythm. Grammar books might not seem like a lot of fun to read, even for writers, however I find reading this book to be enjoyable. It is full of great quotes and gives valuable insight to writing. If you want to improve your skills, you will enjoy reading this book. It is one of my top five books I have read, and that means I enjoyed it as much as a handful of classics. I discovered the author G. K. Chesterton while reading this book, a historical master of witty/fun prose, and I also highly recommend it (the book) often, to others. Review: Informative guide to thoughtful writing. Some of the content ... - Informative guide to thoughtful writing. Some of the content is slightly outdated (writing conventions are changing so quickly now that we spend so much time writing and reading online), but the basic concepts are solid and will help you think more clearly and purposefully about your writing—professional or personal, fiction or non-fiction. I'm a copyeditor, so I'm using Kane's advice to improve others' writing, and I still find it very helpful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #495,271 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #311 in Words, Language & Grammar Reference #312 in Rhetoric (Books) #861 in Fiction Writing Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (126) | | Dimensions | 4.13 x 1 x 6.88 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 0425176401 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0425176405 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Essential Resource Library | | Print length | 464 pages | | Publication date | July 1, 2000 | | Publisher | Berkley | ## Images ![The Oxford Essential Guide to Writing (Essential Resource Library) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719Mi+whe6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Book on Writing I Have Read *by J***R on June 24, 2016* If you have heard of prose and love to write, read this book.
