5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference, July 22, 2003

By	Bridgette.mom.teacher "baasassy" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This isn't a read-it-cover-to-cover book, but it's great to have for all of those questions that pop up during class. Just have your student find it--it increases research skills! It covers everything.
