highly recommended

This is a wonderful teaching resource

I require that all of my freshman composition students purchase this book. It is a concise and well organized resource for beginning writers, as well as for more advanced academic and independant writers. It is a handy reference for several standard modes of documentation and for style basics.

Excellent, succinct coverage of style and grammar

I highly recommend this manual--it is very useful for undergraduates, graduate students, and those in the professional world. Some handbooks cover a lot of material but tend to be bulky and intimidating. Hacker's manual, in contrast, is clear, succinct, and non-intimidating. It covers the fine points of grammar, style, essay and research paper writing, and MLA documentation. If I had to recommend one reference book in English style and grammar to own, I would choose this one. I am a Graduate Student in the M.A. English program at Holy Names College and this manual is helping me get through the Program! Note: if you have a few more dollars to spend, get A Writer's Reference. Third Edition. by Hacker...It is an expanded version of the Pocket Style Manual, adding such subjects as ESL trouble spots, preparing Outlines, etc. It also comes with helpful tab dividers for easy reference use.

The very best

Oh how I wish I had seen this when I was eighteen (I guess it did not exist then!)....I would recommned this without the slightest hesitation....if you hate bulky style guides you need this one....packs a punch in the two hundred odd pages that 'feel' like fifty!

Awesome

Beginner or Profi

This is a very good reference tool to assist the beginner or the profi. I have used this book since my freshman english class, ten years ago. I have recently used it to assist German friends learning english here in Germany. Glad to see it is still around.
