<p>The Parent Association at my son's high school would like to purchase some books for our college office on writing the college essay and also some books that are just great personal narrative writing so they can see what that kind of writing is like. If you have a favorite book in either category, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.</p>
<p>One of the best on college app essay writing is:</p>
<p>"On Writing the College Application Essay" by Harry Bauld.</p>
<p>Thanks. I'll put that on the list.</p>
