Seller's Description:
This is an ex-library book and may have the usual library/used-book markings inside. This book has soft covers. Book contains pencil markings. In good all round condition. Please note the Image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item, 600grams, ISBN: 9780321175212.
This book is useful if, and only if, you have never written down anything, and have no concept of how to write a paper. In that case you may be better off going to a style guide rather than this book. Aside from the fact that the author dictates in a condescending fashion, and only references to you as a student, not a reader or writer, but that he writes in such a language that one would expect to find in a small children's book. I found myself thoroughly unimpressed.
