Product Description
The best handbook is the one that students will use. Keys for Writers continues to build on this formula for success. In addition to offering students the clearest organization and most accessible, user-friendly features of any tabbed handbook, Keys for Writers maintains its hallmark strengths: color-coded tabs that further simplify navigation; thorough coverage of grammar in one convenient section; unique KeyTabs, which are moveable note cards and bookmarks; a wealth of convenient Key Points summary boxes throughout; concise, student-oriented writing style; and an extensive index.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for 1st year english..., March 27, 2006
This book is laid out and designed to be used for quick reference regarding grammar, citations, etc. with information in well organized sections. This book is similar to many other writing `handbooks', it is important to know which one your professor would like you to use. It had plenty of information for MLA, but it glosses over other styles rather quickly.
