Handy and Quick Citation Manual
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I bought this book for a class, but it ended up being on of the best citation guide-books I've ever been told to buy. It's small so it's really super easy to carry to class and the binding is spiral so you can easily flip to page and it will stay flat on a table for easy referencing when writing a report or a paper. Easy indexes and many, MANY examples for each style of citation.

Honestly, this is one of the greatest books ever. I use it almost daily for Ashford Universirty. It helps me with making any corrections for essays. Also, it tells you in detail in the form you are writing in. This book is great for any student's writing ability.

The product arrived in great condition. The only recommendation I would make is to ensure you are aware of the arrival date. The book arrived in the time frame that it should have however, I didn't recognize it would take that long and as such expected it sooner. Otherwise it was great, couldn't ask for a better condition book.
Little, but essential
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have assigned an earlier edition of this book for an upper-division historical geography course that featured lots of writing. The Essential Handbook is compact, easy-to-use, and inclusive of the essential information needed by college-level writers. While there are larger, more detailed works that the continuing writer will want, this little book provides a fine initiation into the world of careful and correct writing.
Handy Guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The Little, Brown Essential Handbook for Writers is a useful guide for grammar, style, punctuation, and other writers' needs. The plastic binding makes the book easy to manage when referencing and editing your work.It isn't always as detailed as a writer might like on usage, but if you have a strong handle on usage, then this shouldn't be a problem. The book is small and compact, so it doesn't take up a lot of shelf space, but it is full of useful information. It's also great as a writer's traveling companion. Information is quick and easy to find. I recommend keeping this one nearby when proofreading and editing one's work.
