On Writing Well. This is a best-selling title, now in its sixth edition. It offers guidance from an experienced journalist on writing more effectively. He covers interviews, travel writing, memoirs, sport, humour, science and technology, and business writing. His approach is to take a passage and then analyse it, showing how and why it works, or where it might be improved. It is particularly good on editing and re-writing.
