A book that looks like a construction kit.
Repetition makes it effective, but sometimes annoying.
I will keep it on my desk for awhile.
I just bought the book on transitions.

This book is smart. It is practical and helpful. Besides offering many great ideas on writing coherant paragraphs, it becomes an excellent aid to brainstorming. My only gripe is that there is no bibliography for reference and further study, and no references to recommended paragraphs by other writers. Still, I know of no book quite like this. I'm glad I bought it.

Aspiring writers are provided with thirty different but effective ways to organize and write competent paragraphs, including paragraphs focused on chronology, physical or process analysis, classification, enumeration, cause and effect, dialogue, anecdotes, introductions, conclusions, transitions, and a great deal more.
