At last, a book for those of us who are lazy and end up with take-out because we don't want to be gourmet cooks. His ideas make sense to us right brain people who aren't comfortable just adding a dab of this and a dab of that to make something taste great. Thank you, Jamie.
Powell's customers will love this selection of essays from a man who love's used book stores! The best writing tells about the atmosphere and the persons working in the stores....included is a tour of Browne's favorite authors.
Zinsser wrote the primer on how to write any non-fiction....now he is showing, not telling, how it is done. His autobiography is scrappy! With clarity and light-heartedness he lets the reader/writer sit on his side of the desk.

The facts are that Cezanne had a wife and child, a torrid love affair with an unknown woman and was financially supported by Zola. The story is that the "other woman" was found dead....could he have killed her? Maybe! Using French daily life, culture and very factual history, Barbara Pope entertains, educates and keeps us reading to find out if he really did it.

The book is hypnotic and the reader has to be in a mood to tolerate Stott's slow ethereal story-telling.Writing Places: The Life Journey of a Writer and Teacher by William Zinsser
