 BUY THIS BOOK! August 23, 1998

This book is essential to any student, high school or beyond. I am an English teacher and tell all students and parents to buy a copy. I own two copies - one for school and one for my home.
 A wrong choice! February 12, 1998

I was greatly disapointed in the offerings of this book. One glaring miscue is the fact that it has only one research paper as an example, and then it does not fully offer examples. In one case an inline refernce to a page is made in this research paper example. Yet, there is no refernce pointing to information that explains its format. In other matters, it is woefully lacking in the area of MLA usage and electronic mediums such as the Internet. The information provided is sparse and lacking. In addition it is poorly written and apparently was rushed to press. One would think there would be at least 4 or 5 examples of papers or articles in the book there is only one (pages 264-265)! And this one is so poorly done that it is a scandal that they have the nerve to publish this book as a refernce for MLA styles. Pass this book up or waste your money!
The MLA Handbook is indispensible for research authors. December 13, 1996

Easily the most useful book any college student could own, the MLA Handbookis full of information on how to correctly cite almost any source. It helpsto please any professors who insist on 100% accurate citations. A must have for anyone who writes any number of research articles, it is definitely a sound investment. If you don't have the MLA Handbook, you're left guessing on new citation standards such as CD-ROMs, Online postings, speeches, television shows, radio addresses, etc. The book has bailed me out on a number of occasions, especially when I have been forced to go to 'unorthodox' sources for information.
