The best-selling college rhetoric for nearly 25 years, The St. Martin?s Guide has achieved an unparalleled record of success by providing practical innovations for the ever-changing composition course. Comprehensive yet flexible, The Guide?s acclaimed step-by-step guides to each type of writing offer sure-fire invention strategies to get students started, combined with thorough advice on critical reading, working with sources, and careful revision. Axelrod and Cooper?s class-tested guidance on visual rhetoric, online teaching and learning, and more is available for instructors who incorporate these topics into their courses ? but not intrusive, for those who don?t. The new edition has been re-engineered to reflect and build on the actual writing processes of students and does even more to prepare them for the writing they will do in other college courses.

[Matt · Rating 2 out of 5]

Surprisingly, the worst Comp. textbook I've probably ever had to teach from. Soo dry and general and textbook-ish, not worth the students' money. I had to use the 7th edition, so maybe the 8th is better somehow, but I wound up mostly making copies from other textbooks to give my students. One upside, it had essays by Tobias Wolff and Annie Dillard.

Textbook for an ENG COMP class. Great articles. Decent Exercises.

Full of exercising and information but I wouldn't say it's the best or the most interesting or detailed. It's definitely good but I don't want to mislead anyone. And this maybe just my opinion.
