Being A Writer is a brief rhetoric that explores writing processes with an emphasis on their variety; invention, with an emphasis on its playfulness; revision as a technique of invention; collaboration as a means of revision; and personal engagement in academic writing, from literary analysis to argument.

This review is from: Being a Writer: A Community of Writers Revisited (Paperback)
Well the book was exactly the one I needed for my english class. I bought it used and said minor scratches and stuff. It was ok when I received it , I just think it should've been cheaper. Its an old book by now. But it works :)

I needed to buy this book for my English class, I thought the book will be in bad conditions because it was used but not it was completely in useful. I would like to buy any other book if I needed at Amazon.

I will definitely order text books from Amazon again! All the books I ordered were in excellent condition, arrived within 7-10 days of ordering and I saved a lot of money using Amazon instead of buying used from the college bookstore. Thanks Amazon!
