5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Your Performance, April 5, 2009

By	Daniel L. Garcia "Electric#5" (Denver,Co/USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Writer's Workplace with Readings: Building College Writing Skills (Spiral-bound)

After being away from formal education for more than 40+ years and getting into the most basic of english classes at our local community college, we were instructed to buy this book. And after 2 semesters of using this book, I agree---It is one of the best in all aspects of learning or re-learning english. My writing skills were very poor and puncuation was a mess. If your teacher or instructor says buy it. Run and get it before they run out, you can't go wrong. Worth every penny you spend on it.

My daughter is going to college. She is a single mom, with three kids and is on welfare. The cost of books is out of this world. We needed a bargain. Well, we got it. The book was in perfect condition and the cost was minimal. comparing to buying it at the college book store. My daughter was totally PLEASED.
