Product Description
Keys for Writers is the most accessible, user-friendly handbook in the tabbed, comb-bound market. With a simple tabbing system (five red tabs for the writing process and research, and five gold tabs for sentence-level lessons), thorough and concise coverage of grammar, and an easy-to-read format, Keys for Writers is a valuable resource to students in all disciplines throughout their college careers. The Fifth Edition features enhanced discussion of plagiarism (and how to avoid it), expanded argument coverage, a full literature paper, two-page "Source Shots" that visually demonstrate to students where to find citation information in different kinds of publications, and even more discussion of evaluating online sources and writing in and for online environments. An emphasis on critical reading and critical thinking appears throughout discussions of the writing process, argument, and research. Superior coverage of style includes the popular "5 C's of Style"--Cut, Check for Action, Connect, Commit, and Choose the Best Words--which helps students submit their best work.

4 out of 5 stars Book never received   August 27, 2008
We ordered the book on July 25th, and to date (August 27th) have not received the book. I have written 4 emails, and the fourth email finally got a response. How do you contact someone to help you find your book if the method you have is not working!!!!!


5 out of 5 stars Keys for College Student Writers   August 16, 2008
This is the most quickly referenced guide for MLA, APA, CBE, Chicago and CGOS documentation! A must have for all college students!


4 out of 5 stars Great handbook for writing   March 19, 2008
This manual is great for any piece of writing. It is very helpful even when editing or proofreading. You won't regret having bought this book.


4 out of 5 stars good for school   February 24, 2008
My daughter used the 4th edition in high school English class and loved it so much that she wanted the next version for college. It seems easy to use and a good reference.


5 out of 5 stars HORRAY!   October 8, 2007
I purchased this book for an English course three years ago. Unfortunately, sometime in the last year or so, I lost it. I actually had to buy it again because I keep going to the bookshelf to reference it, and then remember it's not there. This book is just as useful in my everyday life as it once was in college. You probably need it too.
