4.0 out of 5 stars More Information Than Expected, April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Writing Research Papers: A Norton Guide (Fourth Edition) (Spiral-bound)

I expected this book to help me in writng research papers, as would be expcted just by the title. It has done this and much more. I had a narrow view of what was available and needed to write a good paper. This book has opened my eyes (and my brain) to writing a better paper by utilizing so many sources of information that is available. I'll keep this book as a reference.
