As its title suggests, the core section of Writing from A to Z is organized alphabetically, eliminating the students’ need to “crack the code” of a conventional handbook. The handbook also offers two thorough opening “The Composing Process” and “The Research Process.” The third edition’s changes make this reference even more comprehensive, up to date, and easy to use.
I have an English degree - and I still have to look this stuff up on a pretty regular basis, and this is the best book for that
Refernce Stuff:Love how it has APA, MLA, and CMS all in same book (and CBE, too but I have never had to use that...)
Only complaint - Why such a crappy format? That dumb little plastic spiral broke in my first semester of college ... and it is completely torn apart now... a bound book would've lasted far longer!
