highly recommended

Having helped nearly 3 million students at 1600 colleges and universities to write well, A Writer?s Reference succeeds because it has always been grounded in classroom experience. Nearly twenty years ago, Diana Hacker reinvented the college handbook by looking at her own students? needs. She crafted a first-of-its-kind reference that offered practical solutions to college writing problems in a language students could understand and in a format that was easy for them to use. Her many innovations ? hand-edited sentences, grammar checker boxes, student-friendly index entries, ESL coverage, and a lay-flat comb binding ? have been widely imitated but never improved upon.

In the Hacker tradition, the new contributing authors ? Nancy Sommers, Tom Jehn, Jane Rosenzweig, and Marcy Carbajal Van Horn ? have crafted solutions for the writing problems of today?s college students. Together they give us a new edition that provides more help with academic writing and that works better for a wider range of multilingual students.

must have

this is a must have in todays fast paced world of education and doing it right the first time.

Better than ever

I was directed to use "A Writer's Reference" beginning with the second addition. When I could choose texts for my classes, I voluntarily chose this very text, which I use for pre-freshman composition, freshman critical thinking/composition, literature/advanced composition, and critical thinking/advanced composition. The sixth edition is better than ever. Furthermore, it is the one book I tell my students to never sell back as I firmly believe it will take care of students' writing needs through their bachelors and beyond.

Writing Reference Book

This book and the disc that come with it are an excellent resource for the high school and college student. The book covers several documenting (source citation) methods (MLA, APA and CMS) for writing essays and papers. This book has all the basics from writing a thesis to grammer. There is also a website that provides more help and practice problems. It comes with tabbed sections to make content very easy to locate quickly. Excellent, excellent book!

Invaluable!

I regularly use this book in my work and have bought several copies for others -- it's easy to use (will lay flat due to spiral binding), well-organized and an easy read.
