It’s hard to believe that William Zinsser’s little gem is forty years old! While you won’t find exercises and writing assignments in this handbook, you will find pithy chapters full of insight into what the writer needs to consider in order to develop such things as clarity, eloquence, and attitude. If your state’s standards require anything more than sheer mechanical correctness, you owe it to your students to share this book with them.
