Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ms. Kirszner and Mr. Mandell have written a comprehensive reference book in a clear, succinct style. The book itself is attractive and well organized. Some of my favorite features are the lists of conjunctions, transitional words, irregular verbs, literary terms, etc."

"The sections on grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and style-the 'heart' of the old composition handbook-are well done. They cover the most common issues that seem to trouble inexperienced writers, explain the standard usages well, and offer students a chance to demonstrate their skills in the exercises at the end of the chapter."

"The Wadsworth Handbook's extensive student samples are a plus throughout the book. I prefer them over my current handbook."

"The Writing in the Disciplines section is outstanding!!!"

"The Wadsworth Handbook has convinced me that I shouldn't sacrifice coverage for portability (my handbook is paperback and spiral bound)."

I actually wanted the spiral so I could carry it around, but I accidentally bought the hardcover. Nevertheless, this is an excellent guide for English majors. It's also great for college students in general since it helps with writing papers, research, and a whole lot more.
