  • "American satirist and critic Ambrose Bierce may be best remembered for his caustic wit, but he was also a first-rate prose stylist who put a lot of effort into shaping the next generation of journalists and writers. Write it right is Bierce's tough-love compendium of unforgivable literary sins."@en
  • "While famous for his satire and dark comedy, Bierce was deadly serious when it came to English usage. His prolific career as a columnist, journalist and newspaperman gave Bierce immense practical knowledge when it came to the business of writing, and he shares his secrets in this concise and instructive volume. Of course, Bierce is not above bringing his powerful wit to bear when the situation requires it. Many of the word rules Bierce emphasizes are still relevant today, though readers will note that some faux pas of the 1900s are now considered acceptable."@en
  • "Published in 1909, this is an amusing collection of literary faults that irritated Bierce when he was reading critically. His list of pet-peeves provides many chuckles thanks to the author's sharp wit but also illustrates the extent to which the English language has changed in little more than a century."
