A Writer's Reference Author:Diana Hacker My book carries this ISBN: 0312171617 which the database says is for the hardback, but mine is paperback and spiral bound. I've classed it in "literature and fiction" because that's the closest choice, but it's really grammar and composition and a textbook. — This is the fourth editions of this grammar book. — This "best-selling college textbook ... more »of any kind...has been thoroughly class tested and enthusiastically endorsed by millions of students and their instructors at more than 1,300 colleges and universities across the country."« less
Book is very well organized, and covers everything from composing & revising, grammar, punctuation, writing mechanics, effective sentences, documentation, word choice, and more. Very useful!
