A Writer's Reference

Needed this for class. The book was in great condition. There wasn't really anything unique or special about this book. Everything I needed out of it I was able to get out of other writing references.

This an amazing source for anyone who wants to find anything anything that has to do with grammar and formats for term papers and all that stuff ... :-) AMAZING!!!

book was exacatly what my daughter needed for college course. It was the best price and was shipped right away. good internet shopping experience.

I order 2 manuals and I only received one. I send email to the seller for refund, but no reply.

I do not know what other step I'm going to take at this time. This is not right, when orhers taking you for an imbecil
