Product Description: Continuously evolving to address the needs of students, the Hodges' Harbrace Handbook, Sixteenth Edition, guides student writers in developing their understanding of the rhetorical situation. Through this understanding, they learn how to write effectively-how to choose the most effective information, how to arrange it effectively, and how to decide on the most appropriate language to use when writing for any audience. This grammar-first handbook comprehensively covers grammar, style, punctuation, and mechanics as situated around rhetorical concerns-the writer, reader, message, context, and exigence (the reason for writing).
Puh-Leez This book is So. Expensive. And, it sucks. I had like 3 hours to kill so I were going to read it, and it wasn't even funny. Plus I just hate it.
fast and good I can receive the book within a few days and the book condition is great.
Very helpful This book was a requirement for one of my classes and it was very helpful. My professor never taught out of it, but I'm glad she made us buy it. It helped a lot with MLA and APA citations that I had to do for various classes. It's small and handy and light enough to keep around in your bag when you're rushing to class and from class and finishing papers.
Fast service! I havent actually used this book yet for my class, but it arrived very quickly, and in perfect condition. It's a very cute, small book and it's a great size to fit in a purse. I'm sure that when I do actually start using this book it will be very helpful!
Hodges' Harbrace Handbook I've been using this handbook for about 25 years, and recently realized that my edition was the 3rd, published in the 1970s! So I ordered the latest edition (14th edition), and was so pleased with my purchase. This is a handbook that lives in our office, and gets used to death (we do graphic design, copywriting, editing). Any new employee on our staff is required to at least become familiar with the table of contents (in case of emergency!), and very soon they too are heading for Harbrace's to look up something. We love it.
