I couldn't wait to receive this book and possibly have another reference for my high school students as they learned how to write a research paper. As soon as I opened the book I noticed obvious mistakes in format and even incorrect information for the Works Cited page.
If you need help with MLA documentation, you're better off to buy the original MLA Handbook. (It also includes APA format) Whatever you do . . . do not trust this book.

If you are like me lost in the full version of the MLA, this is for you...the answer is always a few pages away.
