Summary: A great little reference book
Comment: This was required for one of my writing classes, but I will surly keep it for future reference. It has everything you will need for citations in term papers.

Summary: Online Documentation Guidelines!
Comment: Easy Writer: A Pocket Guide / 0-312-25591-8
I have to second all the college graduates here singing the praises of this little pocket guide! The guide covers every major documentation school of thought - and several minor ones that I was unaware of prior to the purchase of this guide. The documentation covers every possible occurrence - from the banal One-Book-One-Author to online pages, spoken conversations, e-mail communication, taped interviews, and on and on.
Many of these occurrences I could not even find documentation guidelines online, let alone in my college texts. The documentation guidelines also provide lucid and useful examples. I recommend this guide highly, if you have a lot of term papers to write and if you have a teacher who is a stickler for documentation!

Summary: Documentation Heaven
Comment: Buy this book if only for the documentation guide. MLA, APA, Chicago - they're all here, and some I'd never even heard of before buying this book. The citation guides are extensive and provide a great deal of good guidance for electronic media, as well as obscure forms of communication that aren't always easy to find a citation guide for (ever wonder how to cite a face-to-face conversation?). Best yet, the citation examples are clear and easy to follow. An invaluable resource.

Summary: Never will buy
Comment: The books are in fine condition. My problem is with Amazon!
I will never buy text books on Amazon again! Waited over 2 months for the books that were promised within 10 days. Not just one book, but 5 out of 8 that I ordered. Never, Never again!

Summary: The Best Book for a College Student!
Comment: College students write a lot of papers. I speak from experience. Easy Writer: A Pocket Guide has been extremely helpful to the writing aspect of my college career. It's easy to find items in this book and it is small and easy to tote. I especially like the sections on MLA and APA citations, because there are examples for all types of works that can be used.
