	KING, STEPHEN. ON WRITING: A Memoir of the Craft. New York: Scribner, 2000. First printing. In his preface King describes his reason for writing this book: popular novelists also 'care about the language, in our humble way, and care passionately about the art and craft of telling stories on paper.' It was perhaps that passion for telling stories that earned King the special National Book Award for his work in 2003. A book which was begun before his accident in 1999, this is far more than a 'how-to' book on writing . It is also a memoir in which King describes how he was formed as a writer, and a moving account of how his need to write spurred him to recovery. This book begins with an admonition to get Strunk and White's 'Elements of Style' and ends with a listing of the books he had read over the past few years - and in between has lots of useful information. 288 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket (as new.)

	KING, STEPHEN. ON WRITING: A Memoir of the Craft. New York: Scribner, 2000. First printing. In his preface King describes his reason for writing this book: popular novelists also 'care about the language, in our humble way, and care passionately about the art and craft of telling stories on paper.' It was perhaps that passion for telling stories that earned King the special National Book Award for his work in 2003. A book which was begun before his accident in 1999, this is far more than a 'how-to' book on writing . It is also a memoir in which King describes how he was formed as a writer, and a moving account of how his need to write spurred him to recovery. This book begins with an admonition to get Strunk and White's 'Elements of Style' and ends with a listing of the books he had read over the past few years - and in between has lots of useful information. 288 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket (as new.)
