Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Kind of like an I Ching for writers: You throw the book open to wherever and some good advice or insight spills forth from this greatest of American authors: The same man, after all, who said he hadn't done "a day's work in all my life. What I have done I have done because it has been play . . . " A good attitude, indeed, to bring to your word processor, quill pen or typewriter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nec plus ultra, March 3, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Mark My Words: Mark Twain on Writing (Hardcover)

A great writer...na! A good book... na! not either...This is the Nec Plus Ultra for writing Writing isn't just dopping words or doing a time to time jurk line... Writing is a state of mind, a feeling that has to be part of yourself and Mr. Twain, of all is the best to teach how. Even if you hate teaching books - this one isn't one... its' a friend to hang on
