 Holt Handbook--paperback April 12, 2002
1 out of 8 found this review helpful
Amazon does not describe this as being an exercise book, and so I was very disappointed when I received it. The Holt Handbook that I read was a 1989 issue and so I thought that my purchase would be an updated version.
This book is not worth it... May 8, 2000

I've had this book for 4 years and have not used it and I'm a college student. Anyone who speaks English shouldn't need a book like this. Spend your money on a movie.
 Excellent reference for students and writers January 12, 2000

This work by two college teachers provides an excellent overview on writing papers, including how to research and develop a topic and -- gasp -- orient yourself in a library. In addition to chapters on English grammar and usage, there are separate sections covering the basics of two standard style guides (APA and MLA), with examples. The research portion evaluates many types of sources (primary and secondary, monographic and serial, and indexes) and treats the potential of the Internet for research with appropriate cautionary statements. The layout is very attractive and clear. Useful as a guide to library research as well as a paper-writing aid.
 This book is a required text for anyone who uses words. June 15, 1999

This book should be in the library of the home or office of any person who must use words correctly, whether orally or on the written page. It includes information on the correct useage of language, punctuation and citation format, along with input on how to write all manner of letters business documents. The information is clear, concise and easy to access, and frequent revisions keep it in step with evolving technologies. You will never be left to wonder "that or which?" again!
