5.0 out of 5 stars How It Helped Me!, November 22, 2007
This review is from: A Writer's Reference with Help for Writing in the Disciplines (Plastic Comb)
It has been 26 years since I graduated from college. I just recently retired and have started back to college again. Things like writing research papers have certainly changed during my hiatus from the academic world. I really needed a reference to help me with the papers and someone at the college suggested this book (A Writer's Reference with Help for Writing in the Disciplines). The suggestion was an excellent one, and the book is an enormous help. It's very easy to use, but at the same time is filled with everything and anything you might need. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, but especially someone in my situation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, visually stimulating, clear and concise, September 29, 2007
By 
D.C. "eternal student" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Writer's Reference with Help for Writing in the Disciplines (Plastic Comb)
I initially ordered this book as a requirement for an undergraduate university program. Although I love researching articles and getting to the bottom of things, I was pretty (embarassingly) unexperienced as far as proper sourcing according to MLA and/or APA styles.


This book is great because it's organized with colourful dividers and easy to read sections, providing the latest up do date info for MLA AND APA formatting. It's actually fun to read because you quickly feel you're getting a hand on this intimidating subject, and it makes it accessible in a clear and concise way. With the sections and dividers you can quickly flip to specific stuff you're looking for without being overwhelmed with the details of other material.

Definitely a must have for anyone considering to write research papers, or delving into other writing adventures...especially for getting into graduate level work!

This review is from: A Writer's Reference with Help for Writing in the Disciplines (Plastic Comb)
This book is great. I am a nursing student and I had never written in APA fromat before. This book made it very easy, especially because it gives sample essays to refer to. It is also fabulous for tips on writng in general. Great book, worth the money.
