A pile of writing books on my desk
A colleague has just moved into a new office, and wants to discard books to save space.
So now I have a new pile of old writing books, on MY desk:
- W Strunk and EB White (1979) The Elements of Style, 3rd Edition*
- HS Becker and P. Richards (1986) Writing for Social Scientists: How to Start and Finish Your Thesis, Book, or Article.
- W Zinser (1980) On Writing Well, 2nd Edition.*
- B Bryson (1990) Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way.
* I already have these. If you are a member of the Research Cooperative, and would like to have one or the other, send me a note with your postal address, and I will post the book, at no cost (to any country).
