The Elegant Essay is the essay writing book I recommend for learning to write essays as well as a reference book for student writers.
Author Lesha Myers has created a writing resource that teaches how to write an essay by breaking the down the parts of the essay into carefully defined sections. Each section is taught with examples and exercises, and is useful for both learning and review.
