Item description from seller

Here is "The Writer's Book : Practical Advice by Experts in Every Field of Writing" . Published by Barnes & Noble, the book was Presented by the Author's Guild and Edited by Helen Hull. This is 1969 10th Printing. From the cover blurb: "This book is a comprehensive and imaginative collection of essays on every phase of the writer's art and craft: forty noted authors discuss the making and marketing of the novel, short story, poem, magazine article, the TV and Film Play. Here is practical professional advice on problems of characterization, style, conflict, and plot for everyone who wants to write. This book was issued well before the internet, and exhibits nothing remotely akin to the modes necessary for writing today. Thus it should prove fascinating for anyone interested in such near-past thinking. We've provided two scans of the Table of Contents, which is fairly lengthy, so view it carefully. SERIES : Everyday Handbooks TITLE : The Writer's Book AUTHORS : Pearl Buck, Paul Gallico, Jacques Barzun, Lionel Trilling, Babette Deutsch, Lajos Egri, Ann Petry, John Hersey, Rex Stout, Arthur Koestler, Faith Baldwin, W H Auden, Frederick Lewis Adams, Katherine Anthony, Leonora Speyer, Phyllis McGinley, Niven Busch, Winston Churchill, et al AEGIS : The Author's Guild EDITOR : Helen Hull IMPRINT : Barnes & Noble PLACE : New York DATE : (1969) STATUS : Out of Print - OP DETAILS : Trade paperback; 5 " x 8', card-stock wraps (cover printed in brownish-orange with white and black lettering - a picture of a plumed ink pen decorates the front cover); 353 pages CONDITION -- VERY GOOD -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted: EXTERIOR -- No creasing to spine; soft impacts have caused creasing to the lower fore-edge corners, front and back; the cover surfaces have modest rub and a touch of abrasion; cover edges have scattered mild nicking (most noticeable at spine extremities.
