Modern Writer's Handbook, The (5th Edition)

Comprehensive in coverage yet compact in size, this Fifth Edition has been thoroughly revised and is available in two formats: as an inexpensive paperback or as a durable hardcover. The Modern Writer's Handbook, while comparable with larger full-size handbooks in every respect including a full treatment of writing and research processes, focuses on user-friendly features to promote self-help in writing and revision. Innovations include revised and expanded coverage on writing arguments, critical/active reading, prewriting, revision, and ESL. This is a thoroughly up-to-date handbook for writers in the electronic era, with word-processing tips and suggestions throughout the book, and new coverage on researching, evaluating, and citing electronic sources, plus the latest MLA and APA documentation guidelines for these sources. For anyone interested in composition.
