    Nice product

    The print quality is nice, without any typos and misprints and considering the content quality, Rs 350 is not much.
    The packaging was very good. The product, as usual, was delivered before the expected date.
    Regarding the content of the book, it's outstanding -- an ocean in a drop. The language is lucid and clear. The book is a must for everyone who needs to write in English language. The book is for non-fiction writers but it can help the fiction writers as well. Zinnser has very beautifully...

    This book covers all aspects of writing, such as making it simple, reducing unnecessary words, usage, etc. On reading this book, I realized that to write well, we must be aware of several subtle points, and incorporate them while writing. This book is an excellent way to start learning the art of writing well.
