Writer's Handbook by James D Lester Deceased

This comprehensive paperbound handbook emphasizes style, teaches that conventions of grammar and punctuation are used for rhetorical goals, and focuses on how language can create an effective personal style. The helpful, functional headings are positive alternatives to the don't-do-this and don't do that style of some handbooks. The hand-edited and displayed example sentences show students the process of editing to improve writing. Its sample papers include a freshman theme in three revisions with peer review, research papers in MLA and APA styles, an exam essay, a technical report, and samples of persuasive writing.
