This is not only for self-editing. Lots of tips in this for beginning proofers and editors.

This book has a lot going for it: it is written in a lively and engaging manner; it offers helpful suggestions, such as points on how to make your writing more coherent and how to use transitions to glue paragraphs and sentences; and it is thorough, covering many points that readers will find useful. However, this book is screaming for a final editor, someone besides its author.

Two of the three books written by Barry Tarshis - "How To Write Without Pain" and "How To Write Like a Pro" - seem to be out of print. Yet that doesn't take the merit away from Tarshis - his writing tips merit him an equal space with Strunk & White, Zinsser and Gutkind - masterly scholars all who wax eloquent on the art of fine writing.
