Diana Hacker's A Writer's Reference is THE book for information on grammar, punctuation, mechanics, etc. All the information you need is there in one easy-to-use book. Even experienced writers will find it useful.

As an English instructor, I have mulled over various texts in the search for the most student and instructor accessible book. My search ended when I found Professor Hacker's A Writer's Reference. This concise work includes introduction to grammar and style, a review of the basics, and an extensive guide to research. My colleagues and I agree that Professor Hacker's book should be required as a resource in English courses. The book is true to its title; it is a writer's reference.

Spend your hard-earned dollars on this ref guide by D. Hacker -- you won't regret it! She is thorough, understandable and this should be standarad issue for every college student (and a LOT of post-grad students who haven't quite figured all these citation formats out yet!) HACKER DOES IT BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE!
The BIBLE for every English major in college! December 27, 2002

Every undergraduate in college at one time or another has more than likely used this book by Diana Hacker. And as an English major, I constantly refer to this book for writing papers, mainly in the MLA format. A Writer's Reference is reliable as well as the most authoritative, comprehensive, and trusted reference book on the market. Pick it up on Amazon,Com or at your local campus book store.

As a technical writer, I frequently use the book as a reference for MLA citations. As an editor, I use the book to resolve conflicts on the use of colons, enumerated lists, and acronyms. This is one of the few books I've found with a robust section on citing online references.
