    A Writing Bible

    The examples are excellent and vary, allowing comprehension even if you are only vaguely familiar with the concepts to begin with. The explanations are easy to understand, but by referencing the examples any confusion can be easily cleared up. The order which the sentence types are taught is a bit odd, more personal preference than growth from one type to another, but still very usable.
    It is an absolute necessity for professionals and students alike.

    Art of Styling Sentences

    This small book with a set of twenty sentence patterns, show not only how to style but also how to shine the substance on structure of a sentence. It's surely commendable for a struggling writer like me.
