      Very interesting for sure, some things clearly have been lost to progress (like how the internet has made research somewhat easier than explained in the second part of the book) and the audio shows the wear of time, which is the only reasons why it’s not a 5 star review.
      For someone aspiring to write, who already writes, or who simply find the process interesting, I recommend taking a listen to the audiobook

      I think writing is not easy and there are a lot techniques how to write well.
      Thanks
