THIS TITLE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THE 2016 MLA UPDATES! Our editorial team has updated this text based on content from The MLA Handbook, 8th Edition. Browse our catalog or contact your representative for a full listing of updated titles and packages, or to request a custom ISBN.When students routinely use their handbook in the course, they see its value, find that it’s a faster way to get answers than search engines like Google, learn to rely on it as a reference, and are more likely to achieve the goals of the course. And when that handbook is Rules for Writers, you can be sure the advice they find is practical and reliable—with help for composing and revising, writing arguments, analyzing texts, using grammar and punctuation correctly, and working with sources. In revising the eighth edition, Nancy Sommers has woven a new emphasis on reading critically throughout the first section of the handbook, introduced advice for analyzing multimodal texts, and added help for public speaking. New practical Writing Guides support students working through college assignments in a variety of genres. And new peer review advice helps students effectively comment on drafts and apply feedback to revisions of their own work. All of these improvements help student writers—but they also save you time and effort. You can draw from Rules for Writers for planning class discussions, conducting in-class workshops, and providing feedback on student work that they can easily apply. Rules for Writers even comes with a complete instructor’s manual, Teaching with Hacker Handbooks, with stepped-out lesson plans to customize and sample assignments, syllabi, and rubrics from your peers.

Needed this textbook for English 1101 and at my school bookstore it was listed at $54 brand new, so I saved myself a few bucks by ordering via Amazon. It arrived the same day. Exactly the book I needed. Textbooks on Amazon is the way to go! I put it next to an average sized bookbag for size. The spiral is very neat and easy to turn. :)

This book was required for a college prep class I took last spring. This is a great book with a lot of info and examples on writing. It's geared mostly towards MLA but there is some APA tips too. Only complaint is I wish the book was bigger. It's super thick but the actual dimensions were really small; like a medium sized novel or a smaller Bible. It would get buried in my backpack a lot because of how small it is.

You seriously cannot survive college essays without this handbook. Most professors I have prefer MLA format and are very strict about correct citations. It has more than just MLA help, there's everything in this book that will assist you with your writing. It's easy to look through and read, very helpful. I always have it by my side when writing a paper.

Even though the isbn is the same it’s actually the wrong version so all my page numbers were off in class. However, a person in class offered to send me the names of the headings so I could track down te right pages to read bc she actually has the right version and we’ve been best friends ever since :)

just an easy and thorough guide. You'll use it forever. I'm in my 50's and there are certainly times when I still refer to it to clarify some of those grammar rules I've forgotten.
