About this title

Review:

"This has been 'our book' for many years; many people in the department have an emotional attachment to the book! I have taught English at this college for thirty-four years¿and The Little, Brown Handbook has been my closest companion. We work well together. "
—Barbara H. Cole, Sandhills Community College

"Established leader in the field. I don¿t know about other areas, but in the South, at most of the schools I have attended or have worked at or have heard about through friends and colleagues, LBH seems to be the most used handbook."
—J. Lisa Ray, Thomas Nelson Community College

"[Chapter 54, Essay Examinations] is such an excellent chapter it has a larger use than the one identified¿this serves as a wonderful overview to writing any essay."
—Peggy Cole, Arapahoe Community College

"I love the fact that you have a section dedicated to the use and punctuation of in-text citations [in MLA style]. This is always an issue for my students."
—Noelle Williams, San Jose State University

"LBH promises an enjoyable writing experience on the very first page in the wit and charm of the opening paragraphs."
—Diane Orsini, Valencia Community College ¿ West
