Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Use it for life!
Review: I bought this book in 1993 as a requirement for my high school freshman English class. I have used it so much over the years that the spine is barely holding together! The information is laid out so simply and it is wonderfully easy to understand. The only reason you'll ever need to update it is to keep up with new rules on sourcing. My copy was written before there were even encyclopedias on CD-rom, much less the internet! But I still use it today -- 10 years and a master's degree later!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best reference tool for writers young and old
Review: i was given this book in junior high, and thought it was the worst birthday present i had ever received. however, after some persuing i thought it was not so bad... now as a freshman in college i am still using it, and prefer it to other more popular references like elements of style or handbook of grammar and composition. i definitely recommend it. thanks mom.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: essential guide
Review: I was introduced to this book in high school where we were required to have a copy and use it throughout all four years of English classes. I found it so invaluable that my first copy was worn out during college. Combined with "The Elements of Sytle" (Strunk and White), there is no excuse for poor writing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A useful, humorous, and must-have guide for anyone!
Review: I'm a high school student, and I think this book is fabulous! It has everything you could possibly think of! Not just writing info, but maps, astronomy, the periodic table, parliamentary procedures, a calendar....everything! I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book may be the Rosetta Stone to writing for students!
Review: In my experience with this text I've found it to be an enormous help! From page layout to the cryptical layout of an MLA bibliography this book explains everything and supplies examples to base your work! If there is one book that every student should have this is it ... you may want an extra copy just in case!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Writers, Inc. presents everything you'll ever need to know.
Review: Ok, maybe my summary isn't EXACTLY true, but if not, it's very close. This book combines grammar, spelling, essays, and everything you remember (or don't) from high school english. It is informative, and at the same time humorous. An overall BEST BUY!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: wow.
Review: thats what i thought when i was writing my first essay in the 9th grade last year...this book was a lifesaver! along with every writing assignment my english teacher gave, writer's inc. was by my side. unfortunately, during our move, the book was lost, so now I have to buy another copy...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ten Years - Still Going Strong
Review: The editorial review notes: This book is good for High School Students. This is true. I started with the 1989 edition, which I purchased during high school. Now and then, (ten years later) as a Supervisor, I refer to Writers INC. when I write business and personal reviews. It is an excellent reference/guide to creating efficient and well thought out reviews, papers. I look forward to reading and referencing the newest version!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT Guide for College Students
Review: This book has carried me through 4 years of H.S. and now will assist me in college. This is highly recommended for ANY person, student or not!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Okay...I suppose
Review: This book is helpful in a few ways, by telling me some true facts (in the almanac in the back) and also giving me student examples. I was looking more for free writing, but it didn't have as much information about it as I hoped. If you need help with essays, this is the book.
