This was the required textbook for my technical writing class, and as you might it expect, it covered all the topics necessary, but there was nothing ground shaking about the book.

If you need serious help with your writing, this is not the book to turn too. If you are looking for a guide book that covers many common formats, the book isn't bad, but all the information is easier to find on the net.

My son needed the 8th edition for a freshman comp course. I was not willing to pay the outrageous price, so I bought the 7th edition at a fraction of the price. My son reports that the headings are in a different color and the newer edition has more pages. So far, he hasn't suffered any setbacks as a result of my thrifty ways.

I received my book almost a month ago now. It was like it was brand-new. It didn't even look like anyone ever used it. I was very satisfied with this product and wouldn't be afraid to purchase from this place again.

I could've bought this book used from my school bookstore when I first saw it there (for twice as much as I paid here). I got it within a week and it was in decent condition - better than some of the used ones I saw, and the description of the book's condition was accurate. I'd buy from UBS again for sure. Keep up the good service!
