This book teaches you how to effectively edit your work (as much as is possible on your own), use the tools in your word processing program, and avoid deadly words and tell-tales of amateur writing.
Oh, how I wish I'd read this book before I ...

Fire engine book (Little golden book classic)11 reviews
Tibor Gergely
Golden Book, 1987
An excellent book for the fireman lover in your house!
What a darling book this is! It's really realistic, shows the firemen actually fighting a fire. It's nice to see that because quite frankly, you don't really see that is most fireman books. I keep saying fireman instead of firefighter, because this book was written before there were women on the force and thus, show all men in the story. It's great though, seeing the old firetrucks and the ...

ENGINE SUMMER was actually the first novel John Crowley ever completed; the ms. then sat in a draw for years while he honed his craft with THE DEEP and BEASTS. The original draft was then rewritten. You thus have a unique combination of an ...
