1.0 out of 5 stars No Answer Key, June 1, 2005

By	Karonwyn "Wyn" (PA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book to help me with a new editing job. I took the plastic wrap off of it and started reading. Nowhere on the cover does it say you need the instructor's manual for the answers. It says it in the beginning of the book.

I contacted the publiher to see if where i could purchase the instructors manual and they insisted it was only available to schools. The book is totally useless to me since i need a way to check my answers and brush up on my skills.

I returned the book and will try not to purchase from this publisher in the future. I have since purchased a workbook with an answer key.
