The Bible of Professional Writing November 15, 2009

The perfect companion for quick, correct referencing. The layout and examples are conducive for ease of use with few questions. This guide does not substitute for an excellent education, but nothing beats it for reference.

Essential and Best Reference for Writers August 20, 2009

This is the writing reference I assign for all my college English classes. Most writing handbooks are way too big; this one has just the information you need, clearly laid out and well-organized. Includes how to correct all the most common errors, how to edit for conciseness and clarity. Also includes a handy index and a glossary of usage. The spiral binding allows you to lay it flat when using using it for reference. Very handy and necessary are the included guides to the most common documentation styles: MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual of Style. Buy this one and keep it always for an essential reference for all writers, whether college or professional or amateur.
