    5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2012

    This book will be your Bible for any Gordon rule (6k words of writing) course.

    It covers the major documentation styles, MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE. However, it gives examples and rules, not a fill-in the blank.

    It will teach you how to research and write academically, which means no accidental plagarisims or oops, where'd my source go?

    The chapters should tell you what you need to know about this book.
    *The Writing Process (Explains every step from why to wow.)
    *Writing in and out of College (Covers everything else you need to know.)
    *Clarity and Style (Survey says, you need to read this, read it hard.)
    *Sentence and Parts Punctuation (Grammar Galore)
    *Spelling and Mechanics (Hyphens, Abbr., Numbers, Emphasis, and Capitals)
    *Research and Writing (Features step by step instructions with page numbers.)
    *Writing in the Disciplines (Covers the course types and documentation style.)
    *Glossary/Index/Guide (This is surprizingly more important that you might realize. It will save you some guessing and checking when looking for a particular bit of information.

    Now granted, you can find this information elsewhere. Maybe your instructor will tell you all you need to know, maybe you'll just google it, or maybe you'll buy the 8th edition of this book; but you know you'll wish you had this book later.

    Whether or not the book comes with the access code D-E-P-E-N-D-S O-N T-H-E S-E-L-L-E-R. If you get a used book, don't expect it to have a code, if you buy it new, you have a better chance. Best thing to do is contact an individual seller before you place the order.

    Disclaimer: I didn't use the book to correct my grammar or punctuation here, I'm lazy and my page flipping finger is bird-bitten.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Source of Information for Writing Skills
    Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The Little Brown, Compact Handbook is a marvelous educational tool and source of information for any college student taking a writing or composition course, or for anyone in general who loves to write. It's format and tabbed sections make the information you need easy to find within the text and the spiral binding is great for allowing the book to lay flat while open so if you need guidance as you write, you can just glance over without having to worry about holding the pages open. All of the information you would ever need for any type of college writing assignment is in this handbook, and is provided in a manner that is very easy to read and comprehend. I would say that this handbook is a MUST HAVE for any college student or for anyone who loves to write in general. Most college students sell their books once a course is over, and I'm sure I will sell most of mine when I'm done; but, this book is so handy and useful that I have a feeling I will hold on to this one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a save!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    This book was required for a class I was taking, but the bookstore at my college was charging more than I was willing to spend on a book that I wasn't sure would be useful after I finished the class. My mom mentioned that I might want to check Amazon. I not only found the book at a more reasonable rate, but I received it quickly. Ordering this from Amazon saved me more than just the difference in costs.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The access code
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I have bought the new one. But I do not know why I cannot find the access card with the code. The website of the CompLab says "If you purchased a new textbook, look for the access code inside the first few pages of the book or in the printed access kit that is shrinkwrapped with the book.". So just please tell me how to get the code. Maybe I didn't look for the right way. Thanks.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Little Brown Compact Handbook with excercises 7th edition
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I like that the book is small and has a spiral binding. It makes it easy to read anywhere. I ordered this book because I am on online student, and the school gave me the ebook version. I don't like ebooks because I don't like to spend so much time in front of the computer monitor. This gave me the freedom to complete my reading assignments in comfortable locations. The book is nicely put together and easy to use. The dividing tabs make it easy to locate information. I would recommend this for those who need the text book.

    Shipping took a month, not good when you need it for class. The book was in good condition though, no markings or bent pages. It was cheap as well, so good enough.

    Was so long for me coming back to school-I was way out of date. Didn't know about formatting, WTH? There's a format that varies? Started MBA and got schooled fast that I didn't have a clue. This book is/was my go-to book. I still use it in my work for writing govt documents, all day, everyday and twice on Sunday.
