An appalling and outdated textbook
This book was awful when I was young. It is even worse today when my daughter is using it. This text is dated and boring. Popular culture and the media have changed drasticly in the last thirty years. This text has not.
The artwork and graphics are awful, the sample paragraphs are appalling and totally irrelevant to today's adolescent.
Holt Rinehart and Winston have no pride whatsoever in their product. The management must've been asleep at the wheel for decades. This text does not educate, but rather actively contributes to youth alienation towards education. ... Read more

Info not disclosed about condition
This is the first used book that I bought where I was disappointed.Up to this point the condition of any given used book has been spot on.However, there was no indication on the used book that I bought here that the first 28 pages were completed. If this had been disclosed, I would have not purchased.My emails to used book provider made it more of a hassle to return than it should have been...and was told, I bought it used, so what should I expect. ...

Excellent condition

eh, it's ok
I am an English teacher of all levels, from high to resource, and I purchased this book for my students looking to boost their grammar practices. This text is the newer version by this company who replaced an older text of a different name and format. This was a sample purchase, as I purchased the OLDER text as well. I MUCH prefer the older text for my purposes. I WANTED to like this book, as the sentences used in the grammar section correlated with the literature book that our district has adopted. HOWEVER, this book is graphically distracting and the grammar explanations and practice exercises are sparse. I found myself giving copious notes to my students along with numerous, extra, self-generated exercises to truly get their understanding of the topic across.Although the compact SIZE of the book is handy, and it is updated as far as MLA citation for the internet is concerned, that is about all I can say. Save your money and use Citation Maker for MLA on the internet and buy a copy of WRITER'S CRAFT!

Disappointed
I've already sent feedback.I received the book in great time.However, I was a little disappointed in the condition.Bothe the front and back cover and binding were worn and bent.I'm not sure if it occured during shipping and handling.Some of the books were sent in envelopes.I'm not sure if this was one of them.I don't think so. ...
