This book was required for my son's honors composition class. The teacher decided to use something else at the last minute. It is a good source for post graduate research.

I was very happy with this purchase. Although the book was for an English class, the material in this book is beneficial for writing papers for both school and work.

This is an excellent textbook for those who are interested in learning about the basic skills for research writing. I, myself, have just started Research Writing, but I know this is going to be a very helpful tool this semester.

I hope this review helps anyone looking for a reliable textbook to learn research skills from.

I purchased this book with the 2009 and 2010 MLA format but when I received it, it was an older version. Do not purchase your books from these people. I know people who've had the same problem. These people are dishonest. Please save your time and money and buy your books from someone else.

I am a college Freshman and I was required to get this book for research and MLA purposes. Our instructor explained that there were different editions for the book each put in print within the same year, and the only way to decipher between them would be a colored dot on the cover. Unfortunately for me, the image shown for this product had an orange dot on the cover (the product the teacher told us to acquire) while the copy I received in the mail did not. I was not pleased to find that the dot had not fallen off, since it was an image not a sticker, but I can still use the product.
When I received it, it was in good condition and full of information for me. My only concern is that at times I wonder if I'm using the wrong information when writing my papers. It would have been more professional to show a distinction between the books or actually show an accurate edition of the book being sold (in the picture).

the picture of the book showed that it had the 2009 and the 2010 updates in it that is why I purchased it but when the book arrived at my home it wasn't the same book that I ordered according to the picture,the book I received did not have the updates or the orange circle indicating the updates.
