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.
Product Description
Provides a personal look at the man behind the writing through an amusing collection of his expressed opinions and thoughts on such topics as such as fellow writers, authors, editors, children's books, humor, and public speakers.
