Repetitive, obvious, and without value. There are not 265 different strategies in this: there are a few repeated ones. They are so obvious that if you couldn't think of them for yourself you probably have no place trying to write a book. Terrible.

This process-oriented book offers many practical ideas for working through a paper. It does not advocate "one-right-way" to do things, but suggests many possible strategies while writing.

Primer for beginners. Focuses more on the grammatical aspects and style. Nevertheless a good start if you aspire to be a writer.
