Behind the many books of Tracy Kidder lies an editor named Richard Todd. Now they've written a book, Good Prose, which Carl Sessions Stepp reviews in AJR: "Like many fine editors, Todd seems to have trouble pinpointing what he does that is special. What stands out, instead, is a more holistic picture of editing, where shimmery concepts like trust and respect matter as much as technique and wordsmithing." Buy the book from the NASW Bookstore.
