Essay & Composition Writing

Can someone look at my short essay??... Please? (it's short, I promise)

I'm just trying to make sure I've used the correct grammar and word usage.

"This is simply one of the best guides available on how to write the English language. Forty years ago, acclaimed author John Smith edited and refurbished his 1940 English book written by his former Professor William Penn. Still in print today, a once dull, outdated textbook has been revamped and updated for the modern era in a colorful, modishly illustrated edition. The techniques and rules for writing are just as fundamental and undying since first comprised in the original addition and just as useful to us today. "How to Write English" shouldn't be considered a textbook in any sense, that word tends to deter readers; moreover, a simple compilation of basic rules of grammar and composition guidelines that aids everyone from the lifelong journalist to the occasional letter writer. This little, red book contains a cache of rules, definitions, punctuations, and proper expressions condensed into five, clear, user-friendly, concise chapters.

Get to the point. Omit needless words. Don't overwrite. Compose an accurate, concise discourse.

White demonstrates that the beauty of our language, as demonstrated by himself and other classical authors, is that we can all follow the same formalities of one another yet be so individualistic and uncommon in style without sacrificing clarity. While the first half covers simple grammatical rules, the latter half of the five chapters is devoted to rules that will foster each writer's own unique ingenuity. In a rare assurance, this is one of the books that promises to change how you see your own words on paper.
