 - Excellent source of information.Iam a college student, and I have to right a lot of papers. I have found this book to be very useful. Rating: - Reference bookAs a freelance copyeditor I have to make sure the ms. is in the editor's requested format. Some of my work must be in the MLA style and this book is the best reference book available. I used the 2nd edition and when I got another job requesting MLA style, I ordered the 3rd edition. Rating: - MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly PublishingThis book does everything it is advertised to do. A fault of the book: The book (on p. 214) should clarify what is considered the "title" of a web-page: Is it that which is written on the title bar, or the actual title heading the text? However, I do not like the MLA citation style. In-text citations are much more intrusive than are footnotes or endnotes. They are also more difficult for the reader to match to the writer's documentation, if, for instance, the writer is using several works from the same source (e.g., the same government agency, where author's names are not usually given). In such a case, especially if the titles of the cited works are similar, the long title would have to be inserted parenthetically in the text, instead of just having a footnote number. It is a cumbersome citation style. Rating: - Necessary item for anyone involved in writingThis product is a must for anyone studying English Literature. It will walk you through correctly citing books, articles, movies etc. It will also show you how to organize an annotated bibliography. This is the newest edition and since it's published every 5 years you're good to go until 2013. Rating: - MLA bookThis is a mandatory document I need for school. I know it is going to be helpful. Everything I need to know is in there. page 1 of 2
