Format:Hardcover
This book will do a lot for your inspiration. If there are any people out there who want to write but can't think of any ideas, then this is the book for you. It is a nice size for carrying around with you, I keep mine in my handbag with my notepad and pen. It has lots of interesting exercises, quotes and techniques guaranteed to get that brain working. You can just dip into any page, no need to read through the whole book in order. The most amazing thing about it is that it is full of gorgeous and inspiring black and white, and colour photos to illustrate the exercises and kick start your mind. This is something that I have not seen in any other writing exercise book. I bought it recently and it has been in use ever since. A lot of thought has gone into not just the exercises in this book but also the layout, photos and even the front cover. I know it is a little more expensive than some inspiration books but you won't regret paying the price!

Format:Hardcover
This is a lovely little book to dip into to spark off creative ideas. Butthe synopsis above is wrong - the pages are not numbered at all andthere's no references to days or months. It's the sort of book you open atrandom to find something to help kick start your writing day. A usefulbook to have on your desk, and to inspire you to create your own ideas andinspiration book.

Format:Paperback
I have a quite military approach towards the study of creative writing: reading, taking notes, reading the notes, trying to apply what I've learnt; so when I turned the first pages of this book I thought: here comes something nice but useless. But no! The book gave me plenty of smiles, and plenty of useful hints; it reminded me what is needed to be a writer and made me feel more free and self-confident, which is much more than I expected.

Great
A good book. It makes you think and has visual prompts to assist the written. It encourages you to dip in, but without a contents or index you do wonder if you've missed pages... Read more

Does what it says.
