I've been waiting for a book like this.

There are a metric ton of books out there about the craft of writing that cover the fundamentals; story structure, plotting, the process from outlining to finished novel... they're great, but sometimes you need help with the smaller-picture (but no less important) aspects of creating great stories. Description is one of those aspects. It's often (wrongly) assumed that writing description well is something writers just pick up by osmosis while they're learning all those aforementioned fundamentals, which is why books like this one are so valuable to any writer who wants to take their fiction to a higher level. This book is packed with strong, clearly-explained advice that is of real use to beginner and experienced writer's. Very glad I bought it, and I'll probably be referring to it a lot in the future.
