The Craft of Comedy Writing

Very useful book from someone who really knows about writing and the comedy business (albeit the industry has changed since his writing this book - but so much is still relevant). Sol really gives such good advice, instruction and insight - as well as encouragement and some words of wisdom along the way. Although the book is intended to focus on comedy writing specifically, you can take away so much for writing of any genre. Interestingly, included in the book is the original script for the Bewitched pilot TV episode, with some explanatory notes. And you will read some facts about the show you probably were likely aware of.
