Not as good as its predecessor: "The Visual Guide to Writing," the Faigley book is nonetheless one of the best writing texts for developmental college writers, this year. It is affordable, well organized and uses student essays to good effect. I'm very picky about my rhetorics, and I'll be using this one in the Spring. It's not a perfect book: the readings leave a lot to be desired and the examples and exercises are often not visual enough for my tastes, but it's among the best of the crop, this year.
