The Little Penguin Handbook by Lester Faigley
The Penguin handbooks have helped over 1/2 million students improve their writing, solve grammar problems and successfully complete their research projects. Here's what students are saying. With its easy-to-use format, clear explanations, helpful examples, and engaging visuals, The Penguin Handbook is sure to help you get better grades, too. The Penguin Handbook is a great resource; it is the difference between and F or an A. I went from failing grades in the course to A's. -- Heath Gattis, TexasState University Overall the book was extremely helpful. It is the only book that I have not sold or returned and I have continued to use it in all of my classes that require writing. --Camie Wood, LowerColumbia College I recommend buying this book, even if you are not required. The book will help you when writing any paper. It was helpful in my composition class and my other classes. -- Brianna Flanagan, DelMar College This handbook has everything that you could ever want to know in it. I would recommend it to other students because it is a lifesaver. The MLA, grammar, and punctuation sections were especially useful. -- Kim Basara, IowaState University The Penguin Handbook is very helpful-straightforward and to-the-point. It's really easy to find the information you need. - Nora Soto, CaldwellCommunity College I noticed a drastic improvement in my writing through using The Penguin Handbook; I'm a better writer than I was. -- Frank Antwi, GrandView College I enjoyed the layout of the book. It is highly informative and I believe every college student should have one available. Amanda Schorel, University of SouthFlorida It is very colorful and not bland like other handbooks. The examples were thorough and helped me a lot when seeing which way I should cite my sources. I know it will be of great use to me in the future. Natalie Martell, Universityof Texas at El Paso
