Anyone heard of the Art of Styling Sentences?

Two weeks ago I tried to find a book at Barnes & Nobles so I can try to improve my writing style. I went to the writing section and looked at every writing book on the shelves (granted if the title iformed me that the book is a writing style book.) Fortunately, I bought this book calle the Art of Styling Sentences: 4th Edition, and I have to say, this book really improved my writing style.

Basically, in this book it tells you what constitutes a sentence, but that's only about ten pages. The thing about the book that will improve your style however, is the 20 patterns that are shown in the book. The patterns in the book are sentences types that could have been taught during your high school years. After you learn the 20 sentence patterns, you are ready to combine two or more patterns to form an eloquent sentence. I have to tell you, the variations of sentences you can create are many-- many to provide a stronger piece, many to add life to your writing.

If you want to improve your writing style by writing better sentences, then I would advise you to get the Art of Styling Sentences: 4th Edition. Any writer-- aspiring or professional-- can benefit from the sentence patterns in this book.
