Product Description
Product Description
The How to Write series aims to give students a recipe of sorts for creating excellent creative and academic prose and poetry. Each book is constructed as a set of instructions that are meant to illuminate the writing process, eliminating the mystery that so many other books seem to celebrate. Our belief is that writing well is a skill all students can learn, if they have the right guidance along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars
does what it claims, Jan 18 2006
By C. Strauss "Literati extraordinaire" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Write: Grammar, Usage & Style (SparkNotes Ultimate Style) (Paperback)
This guide serves as an excellent easy-to-access reference when writing anything that needs to appear professional and polished. It addresses very common misuses of words and stylistic errors dealing with punctuation, sentence structure, and phrases. I found it very easy to find what I was looking for in the book and got a highly usable and satisfactory lesson once I arrived there. It can easily fit in a desk drawer or will unobtrusively squeeze into a bookshelf.

Is it "in," or is it "on?", Mar 18 2009

This review is from: How to Write: Grammar, Usage & Style (SparkNotes Ultimate Style) (Paperback)
It is often said great things come in small packages. Yes, that phrase is a cliché but nonetheless true; especially with the "Grammar, Usage & Style" pocket manual by SparkNotes. This small manual is packed with grammatical solutions in alphabetical order. The manual has 127 pages filled with a treasure of answers to correct many grammar issues.The best way I am able to describe this helpful manual is by quoting a segment from the notes to the reader, "From the most clueless freshman to the most seasoned writer, everyone occasionally struggles with a grammatical issue. Maybe you have trouble remembering when to use who and when to use whom. Or maybe you find yourself thinking, is it 'the donut which I ate' or the donut that I ate?' When this kinds of questions pop up, you don't want to wade through a hefty, technical grammar manual or make wild-eyed guesses in the dark. You want succinct, easy-to-find answers..." (P. iii)
I strongly recommend this excellent pocket manual to help you with your everyday grammar issues.
