What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this book in Borders a couple of years ago, and remember that it was really helpful, but when I eventually went back to buy it, it had gone! It was small, pale green, with a line drawing of a pen or pencil on the cover, and was a guide to help writers (and would be writers) construct better sentences, create tone and mood, improve syntax, style etc. I think it was written by a man, who had possibly been a journalist, and I got the impression it was newly published, not a reprint of an older book.
Any help would be appreciated!

Could it be Clark's _Writing Tools_? I haven't read it, but it seems close to your description.

I'm pretty sure that's it, thank you!

No problem. I hope it's the one!
