5.0 out of 5 stars It is an ultimate guide!, August 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Scholastic Writer's Desk Reference (Paperback)
Teaching writing skills can be daunting if one considers all the rules in addition to the actual process of skill development. I was looking for a book that was straight forward and logical in its approach. Unlike some english books I have seen, it does not skip around. When you scan its table of contents you, as a teacher or student, will immediately know exactly where to find what you are looking for. Then, when you get there, the highlighted headings quickly communicate the specifics for each topic. For example; there are several kinds of verbs; such as linking verbs, action verbs, being verbs, etc. There are also verb tenses, and verb parts. All of this can get jumbled, particularly if one is learning all this for the first time. This book makes it easy to see how these all relate so that students, people learning to write, or those just brushing up on their grammar, can quickly understand and apply things such as parts of speech and punctation. No skipping around or deciphering! You see it, you understand it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Poor, June 28, 2003
By 
This review is from: Scholastic Writer's Desk Reference (Paperback)
I was very shocked at the condition in which I received this book. There were black smudges inside and outside of the book. It also looked as if there were sticky fingerprints on several of the pages. I rate this order negative 5. I was aware that I was ordering a used item, but this was worst than I could have imagined.
