"Spider, Spin Me a Web: Lawrence Block on Writing Fiction" 1st/1st HC/DJ 1988

Description: "Spider, Spin Me a Web: Lawrence Block on Writing Fiction" was published by Writer's Digest Books in New York in 1988. This is a hardcover, first edition, first printing of this useful and instructive 243-page book by the New York novelist. The original price, as shown on the dustjacket front flap, was $16.95.From the dustjacket blurb:“‘The spider is capable of, drawing out from within his own body a substance that he uses to spin the snare that lures and captures his food. In other, words, he spins out his guts to trap his dinner.“‘Sometimes it, takes guts to write fiction,” says Lawrence Block. ‘Fiction comes from deep within . . . you construct it with art and with craft. And, if you do your work well, it shelters and feeds you.’”Synopsis:“The craft of writing is a lot like spinning a web: You take threads and weave them skillfully together, and only you know where this intricate network of twists and turns begin and how it will end. Now, with Lawrence Block’s expert advice, you can learn this art of entrapping your reader in a maze of fascinating fiction. “‘Spider, Spin Me a Web’ is the perfect companion volume to Block’s previous book on writing, ‘Telling Lies for Fun and Profit,’ which Sue Grafton noted ‘should be a permanent part of every writer’s library.’ As helpful and supportive as always, Block shares what he’s learned over the course of writing over one hundred published books: techniques to help you to write a solid piece of fiction; strategies for getting a reader (or editor) to read—and buy—your book; ideas for increasing your creativity and developing an environment that will nourish you and your craft. ‘Spider, Spin Me a Web’ is a complete guide to achieving your full potential as a writer.”The book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort.
