Format:Paperback
John Seely offers a wonderful little guide to words, how we use them, how we communicate, how to avoid abusing them. Delighfully organised, Seely describes a love of words which is infectious. Great little work to get you started if you are beginning to write and beginning to wonder about the raw material of your art.
