This Book is First Rate

Once upon a time, long ago and far away, my Uncle Ian gave me a copy of The Art of Plain Talk by Rudolf Flesch. I was 19-years-old. It had a great impact on me and my writing. I have always been a lover of words and writing; I have earned my living as a writer, journalist and editor all my life. This is the best book on writing I have ever read. I was lucky enough that I happened upon a first edition at a yard sale a few years ago. I treasure it. I am sorry to see that it is out-of-print. Get a copy, you'll never regret it.

I first encountered this book some 58 years ago in journalism school and I've always kept its message in mind, not only as a journalist for 20 years but as a philosopher for the next 20 years. You can't go wrong with this one. Bill Barger
