Product Description:
The first of its kind, A Pocket Style Manual continues to help student writers get answers to their writing and research questions. Its concise and straightforward content is flexible enough to suit the needs of writers in the humanities, social sciences, sciences, health professions, business courses, fine arts, teacher training courses, and beyond. Its slim format, brief length, and spiral binding make it a portable and practical tool.

Together they give us a new edition that provides more help with research writing and one that works better for a wider range of students.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pointless
