Synopsis
W.W. Watt's An American Rhetoric has been for years, edition after edition, far and away the best book in the field. In my early teaching years I used it...in freshman composition courses - always after carefully examining supposedly competitive books...Used slowly and carefully, as in a composition course, An American Rhetoric gives a solid foundation - clear explanations and exercises ample enough (and amusing enough) to push all students to their learning thresholds...No other book on writing is as easy to read or accurate...An American Rhetoric cannot make great writiers, but, carefully studied, it can eliminate common errors and free writers to reveal themselves for what they are. -John Gardner

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Fifth Edition. Book has quite a bit of foxing (brown speckling along the edges and some to the cover). Previous owner inscription on the first white page. Was gently read and the binding is sound, but it has underlining from the owner who was a professor of literature. Spine and covers near the spine are very sunned, although the title is still easily readable. Seller Inventory # 250814004
