    Great for writers and students.

    This is the perfect book for a college level English course. It teaches you how to write so that, when it really matters, you are prepared.

    Rental time runs out before end of semester!!!! Beware!!! They will charge you an extension fee! I was just charged for an extension! My semester ended today! And I already got the books in the mail.. So lame. Beware, the time limit has nothing to do with how long your classes actually last. Figure you will pay $10 more than what it says it costs. Probably should just buy the cheapest version of the book and (then you can sell it on Craigslist anyway).
