Contents include: "The Literary Career", "The Formation of Style", "Journalism", "Short Stories", "Sensational and Other Serials", "The Novel", "Non-Fiction Writing", "The Business Side of Books", "The Occasional Author", "Playwriting", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
