APA Formating
This an excellent book for English classes as most of Ms. Lunceford's books are. However, the section on formatting APA style has problems.
The formatting for APA papers is not done the way it shows in the book.
I realize this is the 4th edition. Hopefully this has been corrected in future editions.

Beautifully organized
I am using this book to teach in a high school writing class. It is well organized and covers many style issues that rarely appear in other texts.

Great book for the beginning writer
I purchased this book about a year ago and it has really helped me see the errors in my writing. I write articles for associated content that are really good now but before I purchased this book they were turning more of my articles down then printing them because of some of my opening and closing paragraph problems. This book will show you how to edit Coordination and Subordination correctly. This is only a sample of the things that this book will show you about writing. I recommend this book highly.
