[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.

Another book for one of my writing classes.

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.
