Even though I have not read this book, it should be an impropvement over the last editon. With an additional author, Cash Phyllis, in this second edition, this is a promising book. The 1st edition is simple, effective, and logically formatted. However, the unclear explanation of "Preparing the Documentation"(MLA + APA styles) may confused some readers. I hope this confusion was rectified in this 2nd editon. Overall, this is an exceptional reseaching manuel for high school + college students. The only thing stopped me from buying this book is that it was published before the publication of the "MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing" (April 1998). The "MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing" the the first book from MLA that contained the new MLA standards in documenting reseach paper especially online/ Internet documenting. To bad!

I've used this teaching jr high, sr. high and college - a great great reference. Keeps it simple but still enough content. I've used it for almost 20 years and never been disappointed...and it is a great value for the money.

This was good book that provides a framework for writing basic research papers. I hope that the next edition will have a section on graph or table presentations.

This book totally helped me with my research papers. I would get it if you are in high school or collage. I would also get How to Write Short Stories!!
