In Crossroads , a wealth of exercises and rich diversity of models address the elements of writing fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and drama while developing an individual's writing skills. Clear, concise discussions of particular techniques of creative writing are followed by practice of these individual techniques. Potent, vital models are offered in an extensive anthology of classic and contemporary readings.
The book, itself, is well-written. It is a very good tool for a budding creative writer to refer to, when needed. I do not, however, think it is worth the +/- $60 price tag it carries. I'd pay $25 tops for this book and wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't required for a class.
Bought for class

I bought this book for a Creative Writing class and we haven't even used it yet. The exercises look interesting, so I will probably hold on to it for inspiration even after the semester is over.
