Paperback. Condizione: Used. The Art Of Readable Writing (1962) by Rudolf Flesch ? Collier Books ISBN: 0020464606 Condition: Used (stylistically sharp, physically a bit fuzzy round the edges) Offered with a wry smirk by Crappy Old Books Here it is: The Art Of Readable Writing , the classic manual that has spent decades politely suggesting that most of us have no idea how to put one sentence in front of another without causing mild suffering. Rudolf Flesch ? the man who gave the world the Flesch Reading Ease formula and therefore shares some responsibility for every time someone said, ?Could you make this more readable?? ? lays out how to write prose that ordinary humans might actually understand without a nap and a dictionary. Inside this compact 1962 handbook you?ll find: Advice on writing clearly, simply, and directly, Why short words and short sentences are not a sign of a small brain, How to stop sounding like a malfunctioning government pamphlet, And many examples that gently roast bad writing while pretending to be helpful. In other words: it?s a book about how not to write like a book. This particular copy, salvaged with great affection by Crappy Old Books , is proudly Used . That means: The cover may show scuffs, minor creases, and the quiet dignity of a paperback that has survived multiple ?I?m really going to improve my writing this time? resolutions. The spine might be creased, as if it has been opened earnestly several times before someone decided that watching television was, in fact, easier than revising their sentence structure. The pages are likely tanned, slightly softened, and ready to judge you mildly as you read them. But fear not: the text is all there. Every rule, every example, every little lecture about clarity and style has survived. You can still learn how to write clean, readable prose while, somewhat ironically, reading a mid-century book that may smell faintly of dust, ambition, and old bookshops. Is this edition modern? No. Does it talk about blogs, social media, or ?content strategy?? Absolutely not. It comes from a simpler time, when ?readable writing? meant not sounding like a Victorian committee report. And yet, the advice still hits uncomfortably close to home. Flesch quietly suggests that if your sentences are long, pompous, and full of unnecessary fluff? that might be your fault. Between you and this book, only one of you is going to win. Perfect for: Writers who suspect their prose might be putting people to sleep, Students and professionals who have been told ?can you make this clearer?? one too many times, Anyone who enjoys the strange pleasure of being gently scolded by a style guide from 1962. So go on: adopt this Used copy of The Art Of Readable Writing . Let a slightly worn paperback show you how to be crisp, clear, and compelling ? while it sits there, dog-eared and aging, proving that good writing outlives trends, buzzwords, and pristine condition. If nothing else, leaving it on your desk will make people think you care about clarity. Reading it might even make that true. Codice articolo 313
