Praise for previous editions: My students will find A Writer's Handbookimmediately helpful; it makes sense of what professors often fail to explain but expect students to know and perform effortlessly. -- Caroline L. Eisner, Director of Academic Writing, AcademicCoachingandWriting.org, and co-editor of =Originality, Imitation, and Plagiarism: Teaching Writing in the Digital Age A Writer's Handbookbeautifully speaks to and meets the needs of its target readers: university undergraduate students. Casson and the other contributors truly understand the common and most significant issues of undergraduate writing, whether in the humanities or the sciences, and they communicate with refreshing clarity the strategies, techniques, and information that students will need in order to write effectively. An accessible, concise, and engaging resource. Highly recommended! -- Michael Johnstone, University of Toronto

I ordered 'The 'Outfit' and I received a box and DVD marked 'The Outfit'. When I popped it into my DVD player It was three Bowery Boys movies. I could not have been more disappointed. I have emailed the seller but have not yet had a response to my complaint. I want my money back or a copy of the movie I ordered. I also found a cheaper price for the same movie on amazon.
