5.0 out of 5 stars Longman Reader 8th ed.: Still the best single volume reader and rhetorical textbook on the market
Comprehensive, detailed, informative, and user friendly, the Longman Reader presents a wide ranging, cogently analyzed, and persuasively organized selection of some of the best recent and classic non-fiction writing. I know of no better resource for developing awareness of and fluency in critical reading, writing, and thinking.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good reader
We stopped using this book at the college where I teach because 1) the chapters were too long and too repetitive on each mode, 2) the selected readings didn't fit the modes as outlined in the chapters, and 3) it's too expensive. I teach without a book now and use the internet to find examples for the reading, and I haven't missed it at all.

My daughter needed this book for her Freshman English course. We perused Amazon for the best deal and I think we found it. This book was in very good condition, as described. Thank you for saving a college student some precious dollars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Longman Reader, The (8th Edition), September 16, 2008
This book is really great for getting on the go with writing. I am using it in my College Writing class and I just love the way that it presents its topics. It breaks down all the steps for writing a great essay and why you do it. Then it also shows different examples, both of ameatuer writers and professional writers, which makes this book and it's context easier to apply to the reader's own writing.
