4.0 out of 5 stars Good for 1st year english..., March 27, 2006

By	Taylor Reed (NIU) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Reference, September 22, 2007

By	Shalla DeGuzman "Schriftsteller, Abenteurer, ... (Bamberg, Germany) - See all my reviews

This book (or something like it) is a must for an author's reference library.

It talks about the writing process: how to get started, writing drafts, editing. It talks about structuring sentences, punctuation, mechanics, etc.

It's got red tab dividers, so you can easily consult the book.

A good handbook to have.
