<p>Harry Bauld doesn’t hold your hand through it, but he does a damn good job telling you what to avoid, provides you with exercises to improve your writing, and provides a few examples of essays he thought were superb. I’m not really going to do the exercises, but he’s helped me approve a lot stylistically. I trust him.</p>
