About this product
Product Information
An essential volume for generations of writers young and old,Bird by Birdis a modern classic. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition will continue to spark creative minds for years to come. For a quarter century, more than a million readers-scribes and scribblers of all ages and abilities-have been inspired by Anne Lamott's hilarious, big-hearted, homespun advice. Advice that begins with the simple words of wisdom passed down from Anne's father-also a writer-in the iconic passage that gives the book its title- Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. It was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said, 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'Product Identifiers

Great ideas delightfully put!
I love books that have something worthwhile to say, which this book certainly fulfills Its funny in places but also full of meaningful insights and ideas. I have got a lot out of it. Also, the book itself is a bit ragged. there is lots of pencil notes throughout the book, no doubt put there by the previous reader....but its exactly what I like. Most of the books I read look a bit like this as well!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Insightful and compelling.
Great book, I found it insightful, funny and thoughtful.. It is a well written book on writing interspersed with life's snapshots. I got a lot out of it and can tell I will be reading this again and again. It is a book I would recommend to any one interested in writing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
