I read about 2/3 of this book - excellent advice for authors of non-fiction. A real gem.

This is an excellent book to provide tips on how to write well. I'm enjoying it as it is not at all what I expected.

I finally read this book after pondering an excerpt for four years. The complete work instructs on several levels: direct hints, given examples, constant demonstration of its own principles, and a discourse on the value of writing and living well.

As Zinsser himself might say, "Don't just say that you're going to read it; read it!" I also listened to the audio version of the book, as read by the author. Very inspiring.
