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.

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 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.

This is the best book to keep on hand. I still have the 2003 version and keep that one at work. The new version will stay with me as I finish graduate school. The new version has examples of how to write in different subject areas, and it's the best reference book I've owned. I use it all the time; it's such a good resource. Every student or person who writes often will find it useful. It's a go-to book.

This book has everything you will need for writing in every format under the sun. It has detailed descriptions of every piece of grammar you will ever want to know. I highly recommend this book, and hope that every writer and student takes advantage of it.

The Writer's Reference essentially does what it says it will do. It is a good reference to use. It was required for my English class, and was also used by the university's writing center. I mostly used it for reference on grammar, writing styles, and how to cite certain things. Yes, the internet can help you to some extent, but this book helps with very specific case and is a must buy for anyone getting started into writing and can prove useful to even seasoned authors.

The book was in very good condition and shipped out to us very quickly. We were very pleased.

purchased for daughters college course, was a cheaper at amazon than at the college book store.
