I haven't been using this book for very long, since the school semester only started a few weeks ago, but I've used it long enough to know that it is a very helpful tool in writing. It is one of the only books I've ever known to actually include built in tabs so that you can find your way around the book easily. It is simple to use and great for essay help.
The Little Brown, Compact Handbook is a marvelous educational tool and source of information for any college student taking a writing or composition course, or for anyone in general who loves to write. It's format and tabbed sections make the information you need easy to find within the text and the spiral binding is great for allowing the book to lay flat while open so if you need guidance as you write, you can just glance over without having to worry about holding the pages open. All of the information you would ever need for any type of college writing assignment is in this handbook, and is provided in a manner that is very easy to read and comprehend. I would say that this handbook is a MUST HAVE for any college student or for anyone who loves to write in general. Most college students sell their books once a course is over, and I'm sure I will sell most of mine when I'm done; but, this book is so handy and useful that I have a feeling I will hold on to this one.
I had to purchase the lab seperate as there was not a code included. The decription did not state that. So that was a disappointment.
I like that the book is small and has a spiral binding. It makes it easy to read anywhere. I ordered this book because I am on online student, and the school gave me the ebook version. I don't like ebooks because I don't like to spend so much time in front of the computer monitor. This gave me the freedom to complete my reading assignments in comfortable locations. The book is nicely put together and easy to use. The dividing tabs make it easy to locate information. I would recommend this for those who need the text book.
This is the best reference book I've come across for researching and writingdifferent kinds of papers, grammer, and punctuation. It is organized with tabs and questions to conveniently find what is needed. The index is exhaustive, making it easy to locate any topic. I'm a College student and depend upon this book as a source for all my papers.Paul
This is a great grammar book. My youngest uses it religiously but my oldest appreciates the fast reference. With topic tabs and an encyclopedia like format...no grammar rule will stay hidden for long.
This book will be your Bible for any Gordon rule (6k words of writing) course.It covers the major documentation styles, MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE. However, it gives examples and rules, not a fill-in the blank.It will teach you how to research and write academically, which means no accidental plagarisims or oops, where'd my source go?The chapters should tell you what you need to know about this book.*The Writing Process (Explains every step from why to wow.)*Writing in and out of College (Covers everything else you need to know.)*Clarity and Style (Survey says, you need to read this, read it hard.)*Sentence and Parts Punctuation (Grammar Galore)*Spelling and Mechanics (Hyphens, Abbr., Numbers, Emphasis, and Capitals)*Research and Writing (Features step by step instructions with page numbers.)*Writing in the Disciplines (Covers the course types and documentation style.)*Glossary/Index/Guide (This is surprizingly more important that you might realize. It will save you some guessing and checking when looking for a particular bit of information.Now granted, you can find this information elsewhere. Maybe your instructor will tell you all you need to know, maybe you'll just google it, or maybe you'll buy the 8th edition of this book; but you know you'll wish you had this book later.Whether or not the book comes with the access code D-E-P-E-N-D-S O-N T-H-E S-E-L-L-E-R. If you get a used book, don't expect it to have a code, if you buy it new, you have a better chance. Best thing to do is contact an individual seller before you place the order.Disclaimer: I didn't use the book to correct my grammar or punctuation here, I'm lazy and my page flipping finger is bird-bitten.
This was purchased for my English class, in college. Even though it was a year older than what we needed, it still had a lot of great information in it that our entire household can use for all English classes.
