 An indispensable reference April 16, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This volume is priceless. Everyone who writes research papers has questions on how to document or cite something, and this manual provides the solution. It covers everything from abbreviations to translations to multi-volume works to internet sites. It is extremely easy to use--everything you need can be found without difficulty. The chapters and sections are nicely arranged in such a way that makes it easy to find your way around the book. I have used this guide many times in writing papers. It has effectively eliminated the guesswork, the wondering just how to include something in my bibliography, or what the proper way to cite something is. Anyone who writes research papers of any kind needs to have a copy of this book.

Just don't leave it on the passenger seat in your car. The cover is silver and highly reflective. So if the sun catches it right, LOOK OUT! My Research Methods instructor calls it the silver bullet.

it also doesn't tell you how to cite to sandwiches, borscht, shoelaces, or beeswax. I was eating some borscht and wanted to know how to cite it MLA style, but the book wouldn't tell me!!!

The MLA Handbook is the perfect companion of any higher education student. My English teacher, Mr. Holt, has recommended this book with pride and I agree with him. Any essay assignment should be double checked using this book. Once you land your hands on this novel, skim through it and post sticky notes on the important pages for a quick check when you need it later.

This book is hard to find things in and doesn't seem extremely well-organized. Besides that, it's annoying because it looks like it was done on an old school typewriter. I thought I'd need it because I need to write a lot of papers for my classes, but it turns out I can just look in the journals I'm using for the citation style for the most part.
