great book to use throughout life not just in the class room for becoming a good writer

This book (or something like it) is a must for an author's reference library.

It talks about the writing process: how to get started, writing drafts, editing. It talks about structuring sentences, punctuation, mechanics, etc.

It's got red tab dividers, so you can easily consult the book.

A good handbook to have.

I purchased this book for an English course three years ago. Unfortunately, sometime in the last year or so, I lost it. I actually had to buy it again because I keep going to the bookshelf to reference it, and then remember it's not there. This book is just as useful in my everyday life as it once was in college. You probably need it too.

My daughter used the 4th edition in high school English class and loved it so much that she wanted the next version for college. It seems easy to use and a good reference.

This manual is great for any piece of writing. It is very helpful even when editing or proofreading. You won't regret having bought this book.
