Not as good as Strunk & White's book, but a good reference, anyway. More up to date on some stuff that I rarely use, like business headers & such. ( )

Much like The Elements of Style, A Writer's Reference is one of the -- if not the-- penulatimate guide for writers. ( )

A must have in one edition or another for any academic writer. It covers not only MLA but SPS formats and others. It covers footnotes, end notes, and in-body citation. I have found this very helpful through the years and is the only books I didn't sell back my freshman year of college. ( )

I don't know how I could have gotten through all those college papers without it. ( )
