What college essay writing books would you most recommend?

<p>thread title</p>

<p>Writing With Style</p>

<p>On Writing the Application Essay by Henry Bauld...or something to that effect. I found this book to be fairly entertaining and the most straightforward. I hate books that have blanks and say "OK SUCCESSFUL STUDENT, TIME TO BRAINSTORM!! WRITE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAD FOR LUNCH TODAY! NOW AREN'T YOU CREATIVE?!?"</p>
