The Little Seagull Handbook by Richard Bullock

The Little Seagull Handbook by Richard Bullock

The Little Seagull Handbook offers the kind of succinct advice students need about grammar, punctuation, documentation, and the writing process—an in addition, it covers the kinds of writing they are most often assigned—reports, analyses, narratives, and more. The second edition includes unique help for students whose primary language is not English. Available in two versions—with and without exercises.

"This book is smart and useful—and it’s well-designedStudents can easily find what they need." -- Susanmarie Harrington, University of Vermont
"I like the focus on different types of academic essays—arguments, rhetorical analyses, research reports, personal narratives, literary analyses, and so on. I actually changed the focus of my class to address these kinds of writing." -- Jonathan Purkiss, Pulaski Technical College
"For its price, The Little Seagull is the best college-level handbook available." -- Paul Licata, Valencia College
"The combined glossary/index is great. Students get to understand an unfamiliar term and at the same time find a page with further instruction. This is efficient, reader-centered writing." -- Carolyn J. Fulford, North Carolina Central University
"The Little Seagull Handbook models the very concise and precise writing we hope our students will achieve…. keeping details to a minimum and clearly explaining the essentials." -- Robert Hurd, Anne Arundel Community College
