    Good price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though.

    "Great way to learn to apply the basic writing skills needed to improve your fiction writing."

    The try it now sections where you are asked to apply the concepts you just learned are very helpful. The content covers everything that a new writer of short stories needs to understand and apply.
