About this Item

Good condition hardcover. The glossy black cover shows noticeable scuffing and surface scratches on both front and back - this is a well-loved classroom reference, and it looks it on the outside. Inside, the pages are clean and bright with no writing or highlighting, and the binding is tight and sturdy. There's a blank school-property tracking label inside the front cover (no names filled in) - just a reminder of its classroom life, not a library discard. A solid, sturdy copy with plenty of good use left in it.

About this title

Synopsis

Covers the writing process, grammar, and study skills.

Review

It's meant for high schoolers, but adults who haven't inhaled chalk dust for years might appreciate it even more. The process of organizing, researching and writing a paper is laid is out in easy-to-understand normal-speak. The chapters on grammar and usage are very user-friendly, and lots of extras (suffixes, parliamentary procedure, periodic table, metric system, the U.S. Constitution, world maps, etc.) make this an extraordinarily popular and useful household item. If you're feeling generous, you might even let the kid take it to school on occasion.
