Summary: Standard issue at my school
Comment: I teach in a high school where we have just opened a brand-new freshmen-only campus. We are trying all sorts of innovative things to help maximize the learning experience. One of the best innovations so far this year is the distribution of this style manual to every student, teacher and staff member in the school. The hope is the students will carry it with them for four years (and beyond) and that teachers and staff will use it as a reference when working with students and other members of the school community. I was especially grateful to receive a copy of this, since I had just lost my MLA guide, the Chicago Manual of Style and Elements of Style by Strunk and White in a flood. This quick-reference guide replaces all of these books in one portable guide. I especially like the spiral binding and laminated cover -- Very durable for stashing in a book bag or in a locker. Professional writers and those writing graduate-level papers will probably need the full versions of these books. However, the average student, whether in high school or in college, will find this book to be indispensible.

Summary: Wonderful style manual for interdisciplinary students!
Comment: Lets say you're a business or a psychology major and you're working on a history minor. Did you know these academic disciplines all write in different styles? What to do? Get this book! While some professors will let you cite in your field, they're more likely to give you a better grade if you cite in the style of their discipline.
Therefore, you're only going to benefit by having this manual. Whatever style you end up writing in, all the writing formats are easily spelled out for you. Furthermore, if you're a visual learner, there are sample papers at the end of each section for clarification.
In addition to being a reference manual for the different styles, "A Pocket Style Manual," also includes sections on clarity, grammar, punctuation, mechanics, research sources, usage and grammatical terms. All are in an easily to find, readable and understandable formats.
Overall, an excellent choice for undergraduate students who will be taking courses in many different disciplines.

Summary: The best brief style manual available
Comment: This grammar handbook is concise and so EASY TO USE! It has all the essential reference information that you need when you are writing an essay or professional letter. Everything is clearly laid out and well-explained. Many grammar books are thick, heavy, and intimidating--filled with information that will never be read. Who wants to read a grammar book? They are for reference, not reading! This is a small paperback with a spiral binding so it lays flat. I teach freshman composition and introduction to literature classes, and I always assign this book to my students. P.S. If you want a small grammar book that you can actually read, check out THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF COLLEGE WRITING by Michael Harvey. I have my students buy both; Hacker for reference, and Harvey to read.
