5.0 out of 5 stars
required for my college course,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Writing, Reading, and Research (Paperback)
This book was required for my course, so I can't really state my opinion on the contents. I think if it's required it's required, and I don't think anyone would buy this on a whim. That being said, it did come on time, and in great brand new condition, and the packaging was the usual cardboard case. That is mainly what the five stars is for.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Writing, Reading, and Research (Paperback)
Daughter's college book, but let me say that she did pick up some great skills from this book. Very streamlined and efficient! Not a sell back, keep it to share or refresh your memory later.

Worked out well,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Writing, Reading, and Research (Paperback)
This book is very resourceful, however my teacher changed the format to APA style, 6th edition, so I could only use this book for a short amount of time.
But what I have utilized was great.
