Summary: Best Reference Book I've Ever Bought
Comment: I needed to buy this book for a composition class I took in college. It is the best reference book I've ever bought. It is very easy to read with tabs to quickly find what you are looking for. It has everything you need to know about writing papers, including sentence and paragragh structure, punctuation, subjects, verb usage, MLA and APA styles of writing, and much more. I plan on buying one for both of my kids to use in college. Definitely a good investment.

Summary: Definitely Brief
Comment: I do like the book and use it alot for school. The part that I use most is the Directory of Words Cited. Unfortunately, many times the exact type of work to be cited is not listed. For instance, a book with an editor in multiple volumes in an edition other than the first is not covered. Neither is an article from a journal obtained from a database.

Summary: Good for learning different writing formats
Comment: I found it very helpful as I was not familiar with APA or other writing styles and took my class online so I had no live instructor to question.

Summary: The Easiest Writing Guide Ever!
Comment: I first purchased this book when I was a freshman in college seven years ago. It is without a doubt the best and easiest reference guide to writing I have ever read. I love the plastic tabs that mark each section. This guide is easy to read and follow it is organized in basic steps that are categorized accourding to section. So for example if you need to find out how to cite a web page or a video tape, etc using the MLA style you just flip to the section called doucmentation clearly marked with a plastic tab. I have since purchased an updated guide for myself and also bought one for my brother - a freshman in college. I really wish I had this book when I was in high school. I highly recommend this book to any high school, college, graduate student or writer. I especially recomend this book for students with learning disabilities, I myself have ADD and before I got this guide I could not understand how to write a paper in the MLA style or in any style other than a book report. I promise this is the easiest reference guide to writing ever published.
