- My favorite, which is obscure enough that it's unlikely to be in the FAQ
- for this group (there IS one, isn't there?) is Sheridan Baker's book
- "The Practical Stylist." Not only is it a fine guide to constructing
- sentences, paragraphs, etc., but it has also been around long enough
- that you can often find it at a very low price in used bookstores.
-
- Speaking of the FAQ, if there is one, why don't I see it in news.answers?
