The three sections of the book deal with preparations for writing, explanations and examples of 45 common writing faults, and mastering the broad problems of sentence flow, thought development, outlines, research papers, essay examinations, and job applications. An alphabetical list of correction symbols and a list of commonly misspelled words are included. (JM)
