The copy I have is a Used Rental from the campus bookstore, but I'm hoping I can afford to keep it once the semester is ended. If I can't afford it right away, I am definitely buying a new one as soon as I have the money!
This text is a Must-Have! Another text book for english composition class. I think I would like to own this one. Good information provided. One day I just might be able to write well without thinking? I initially bought this back in thinking I was going to need it for some college courses.
Turns out I didn't. But, as a "writer", I found it to be quite the indispensable tool and still use it as of today. I keep it on my bookshelf right by me. It's great for bloggers, writers, and students. It can function not only as a textbook of sorts as well as reference for any kind of writing: creative, letters, blogs, or academic papers.
This is one of the rare reference novels I take with me on vacations in case I want to do some writing. Of course, I should probably get a more recent version, this book is still in great shape. This book and other versions has always saved my academic life. I have used it during my undergraduate and graduate courses and I love it. It is the most helpful! The explanations are easy to read and understand. I still refer to it off and on when I need clarification on some things. This book is my bible.
I read this book at least once a year to refresh my grammar. And I reference it more than that. I probably should get an updated edition. I think this one is left over from my college years. I highly recommend this if you are an author. Nov 15, Mark Mathes rated it really liked it. This is a classic reference book. Easy to use. Quick to find the answer. Fast to solve the problem.
Spiral-bound, subject tabs, color-coded. Still useful for students, authors, professionals and teachers. Shelves: reference , writing-guides. Comprehensive grammar and punctuation guide to the English language.
It is incredibly useful. I think I will just rate this 3 stars for now, and maybe in the future I will make it higher. Read for the second time, this time for English Composition 2.

Arrange by first author's name, then by second author if you have the same first author, etc. If a reference has no author, list it alphabetically according to the title.
Ignore the words 'A', 'An' and 'The' at the beginning of a corporate author or title for deciding where it fits alphabetically. If there are two references by the same author, list them in order of publication date with the older one first. If references by the same author have been published in the same year, list them alphabetically by title. Letters a, b, etc. For example: Queensland Health.
