I am an affectionate critic of "Legacies," as both editors were teachers of mine and many of the contributors were co-teachers with me in the mid-1990s. Regardless, I used the book for several years and the results speak volumes.

This is a college literature/composition reader that tries to do it all -- and succeeds. For its hefty heft, one must acknowledge that each lesson plan (day-to-day lesson plans handed happily to you by real teachers, talented teachers) belongs here. I used many of them before they were "lesson plans" -- they engage and involve students.

Whether you are a reader/student simply looking for a great resource of singular texts or a college literature professor/adjunct composition instructor searching for sure-fire ways of directing your students away from the window and towards what counts -- "Legacies" is the book.

This book was required for my English 103 class. The selections are actually pretty interesting. I may decide to keep this anthology after the class is over.

A required book for my English 122 class. It would have cost me $150 at my school but I it purchased it here for a little over $20. Arrived VERY QUICKLY! Definitely a recommended seller! GREAT CONDITION, just as it was described on the site and sold at a VERY WONDERFUL PRICE! Thanks!

I was expecting to receive a book that was in poor condition, as it stated in the product description. However, I received a book that had no torn pages, nothing written on it - it was in perfect condition! Considering how much I paid for this item, this is awesome!!! Thanks to the seller for sending me a great book for school!

The service was very fast,I order it late that Friday night and I received it early Tuesday morning. But although the book was labeled used it was in immaculate condition and looked brand new. Thanks again for a great book and extremely fast service.

This book is very good...It has stories from many different genres and from different authors...very interesting read(was used for an English II class)

The seller went to all extremes to go above and beyond to make the sell as pleasant as possible for me! I am currently using my book to it's fullest!

$67 for a paperback book is highway roberry.

Have been pricing out college textbooks on Ebay, Amazon, and the college bookstore. It's a bloody medieval guild these publishers have going here and professors who insist on the latest editions of texts are aiding and abetting the rip-off.

This is monopolisitic practice if I've ever seen it. If the industry doesn't rachet down this greed-fest, someone else will - and as far as I'm concerned, it can't happen too quickly. Shame on you all.
