A Guide to MLA Documentation: With an Appendix on APA Style (English Essentials.)

Rating:
Summary: Well organized and straight to the point
Review: I have used one of these books before and they have been of great help. Most of the bigger MLA books don't seem to cover much on formatting for web sources. This book is thin and easy to carry for any student. It provides an ample amount of small detailed examples for formatting as well as a few essays. The price for this guide is a little on the pricey side for such a small book. In my opinion, it's well worth it for any high school or college student who has many papers to write ahead of him/her. Again, this book is thin and light, well organized, and straight to the point. There would be no need to skim countless pages just to get the formatting you need, the next time you write a term paper.

Summary: Handy but not complete
Review: The Modern Language Association (MLA) is the recommended style guide for most documentation in research papers. However, some require The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. This guide, though very short, gives the basics of both. It is too brief to give a complete analysis of the larger, more expensive guides, but it is a handy reference for the basics. If you can afford the complete versions, your bookshelf should contain them if you intend to write academic or research papers. The price on this shortened guide makes it a handy reference for those who can't afford the larger books or who want a handy version to carry with them.

Summary: MLA Documentation Help At Last.
Review: This book is very helpful for research papers. My son's school requires this style of documentation, but they don't provide much help in regards to how to do it. So I browsed the internet looking for help, but there aren't many websites that will tell you everything you need to know. So I ... found this book. I bought it for a price that is cheaper than those large books. I believe that you won't need the large books becaquse most research papers only require the basics, but if you are doing a very large research paper, one of those books might be needed. This book has the basics on how to document many types of sources and it's ...price makes it easy because we have no worries about loosing it. If you are looking for some help with MLA Documentation, and just want the basics and nothing complicated, moreadvanced, look into the bulkier, more expensive books.
