Abstract: This paper is about review of a book entitled ‘Fundamentals of Academic Writing’ one of a series of books on the same topic which had been published intending for novice learners or more accurately novice writers of academic papers for the purpose of publication. The book ‘Fundamentals in Academic Writing’ authored by Linda Butler has been focused in particular for those who learn English as a Second or Foreign Language at any given level, be it students of Colleges, adult learners or the learners at secondary level. The text has been composed with a circumspect approach structuring the book in such a way extending support in developing essential skills in writing such as understanding writing as a process, and building (according to the writer Linda Butler) confidence and becoming independent writers. This book review therefore encourages learners to study, allude as a guide rather than a reference book for developing their academic writing skills at any level.
