<p>huh? what do you mean book? you don't need a book...</p>
<p>Harry Bauld "On Writing the College Application Essay"</p>
<p>Writing college essays is about writing, not reading. What's a book for? Seems like a scam to me.</p>
<p>I have Harry Bauld's book but I dont think it helped me much. It just explained the dont's and do's... which are pretty obvious, eg. dont: "my pet's death changed my life forever", do: writing with a 'voice', etc..</p>
<p>I've just started writing essays myself and I think my best pieces come at times when I'm just writing freely and not thinking about 'the rules'..</p>
