Rating: Summary: Fantastic! Review: THE resource for English. Used along with the exercises, this book will greatly help students prepare for testing. It's so good that I'm using it for reference at my office!
Rating: Summary: Exellent book for school or work writing Review: This book has been a life saver for my writing. The examples and easy to find indexes make this book a "keeper" in my personal library.

Rating: Summary: I've heard it's a great book Review: This book was referred to me by an associate at work. I haven't had the chance to read it and unfortunately my English class has ended!
Rating: Summary: Most useful book for all levels of writers and editors... Review: This cogent little volume lays out the essentials of writing good prose. It not only covers the necessary mechanics, but also covers information on research, revision, and document design. Every editor needs this book, and should purchase new editions as they are released.The genius behind this book is in the organization, including the indexing. Many books are full of all-too-hidden gems. This book is full of information that is easily found, easily used, and easily understood. The tutorials on how to use the book are quite helpful, and should not be ignored by experienced writers. The billable hours you will save in the future are well worth the small investment of your time. I work as an adult-education instructor, and freelance technical writer/editor. This book has helped me help other people. Without this book, it would have been much harder to do the same work.
Rating: Summary: Tabbed dividers point you straight to the subject! Review: This reference guide allows you to quickly find relevant information with index tabs and dividers. Open the cover and find your subject matter in five seconds! With clear and concise examples, this is one reference guide that begs for use. Covers: research writing, punctuation, word choice, basic grammar, documentation, revising, and more. Also covers trouble areas for writers were English is not the native language. A great tool for writers of all styles and subject matters.
Rating: Summary: Thanks, wrong book Review: Too bad that a site I clicked on that put me here said it was the third edition of A Writer's Referenece, the fourth edition won't do me much good, and now I have too of them. So, it wasn't so great.
