This book and CD set is sold as an ebook with an access code that you do get when you open the packaging. The publisher wants to make sure no one reuses the code, so they also require a "course code" when you go online to gain access to open the ebook. Well, my son was in a high school class that requires the hardback, but not the CD. I thought he lugs around enough heavy textbooks, so I thought I'd spend the extra money for the ebook for him since he carries an iPad, also. Unfortunately the publisher's customer service department was not able to help us gain access to the ebook without this magic "course" code. (Don't know why they don't have a generic one that could be use for just such situations.) Anyway, you don't want to buy this version for the ebook unless your teacher / professor uses the MyCompLab whole set up. The other way the publisher could prevent the reuse of the CD access code they send in the packaging is to issue unique codes on every new CD. Boom. Done. No problem, no "course code" required. How about it, Little, Brown?
Of the several editions of the Little, Brown Handbook I've owned (I buy the odd-numbered editions) and read cover-to-cover over the years, this (11th) edition will answer almost any question you have about writing. My last edition was the 9th and this one is significantly better, with better layout and colors to make every element on the page easier to read, even diacritical marks. Unfortunately, with purchase you are not given access to the companion website[...], and the book's own preface does not recommend the site. Pearson has plastered the website ad in every chapter, in a special section of the book, and on the back cover. Completely unnecessary and no class.If you're going to get an English handbook, start with Little, Brown. But also get the definitive source, The Chicago Manual of Style, which also includes several chapters on punctuation, grammar, and style. Finally, round out your education with Joseph M. Williams' Style: The Basics of Clarity and Grace.
This is a great reference book for anyone with grammar questions. The index and page layouts are brillantly designed by the Parsons School of Design, and it shows on every page. I have never found a reference book so easy to navigate. The book is small (mine is 5.5" X 8.5") AND amazingly lightweight for 800 pages . The binding is strong and the book lays comfortably open as you use it. YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. I buy it for every writing job I take. This is my third copy.
Walking inside [a] store, I noticed the hardcover edition. From the moment I picked it up and began to read I found myself writing up the lesson provided in the CD Format. This is truly an outstanding compilation on writing and grammar usage. I would suggest it for anyone whether in or out of academic study. Get a copy for yourself before it is too late!
The Little Brown Handbook is a wonderful tool for writing papers for school or any other purpose. I recently went back to college at age 61 and this handbook has helped me get back on track as far as writing academic and research papers.
This is a very informative book. I had an earlier edition (that was stolen from me) that was simpler and easier to use. I would recommend for most people to get the Strunk and White "Elements of Style" instead, but for real grammar weenies, this will make you happy.
I picked this up for an English. The wonderful and detailed explanation it gives of MLA formatting made it worth it for me. It is also handy to have around if you find yourself confused about any rules of the English language. I like to write short-stories in my free time and this is nice to have on hand. I can easily look up quick references in the glossary and everything is explained clearly.
Excellent book saved me a lot of money, just as good as the 12th edition. However the seller sent me the wrong edition is was a special one for a certain college... I contacted the seller but never got a reply. It still works... I can't complain for the price.
