EDITORIAL REVIEW

It's meant for high schoolers, but adults who haven't inhaled chalk dust for years might appreciate it even more. The process of organizing, researching and writing a paper is laid is out in easy-to-understand normal-speak. The chapters on grammar and usage are very user-friendly, and lots of extras (suffixes, parliamentary procedure, periodic table, metric system, the U.S. Constitution, world maps, etc.) make this an extraordinarily popular and useful household item. If you're feeling generous, you might even let the kid take it to school on occasion.

Writers Inc, A Student Handbook for writing and learning
~ Written on Oct 31, 2007. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

The latest edition of Writers Inc is a great resource for any student or teacher, but does not provide the extensive list of prefixes, suffixes, and word roots included in my copy of the 1996 edition published by D. C. Heath and Company, a Houghton Mifflin company. I recommended this book to a student who was looking for such a list. We were both disappointed that these lists had been removed. If you have an earlier version, don't count on this one being exactly like a previous edition.

This book was recommended by a High School English teacher. It is an excellent resource for High School students. I highly recommend it!

For students who already know the rules

I bought this book for my younger daughters, and did not find it to be very helpful. The information is very condensed. You would need to know the rules or basic guidelines already to be able to use this. It definitely is not for beginners.
