Editorial Review:
The first of its kind, A Pocket Style Manual continues to help student writers get answers to their writing and research questions. Its concise and straightforward content is flexible enough to suit the needs of writers in the humanities, social sciences, sciences, health professions, business courses, fine arts, teacher training courses, and beyond. Its slim format, brief length, and spiral binding make it a portable and practical tool. With its signature Diana Hacker quick-reference features, A Pocket Style Manual has always provided quick solutions to writing problems. Supplemented by the best free and open Web resources, A Pocket Style Manual offers the best value for students. In the Hacker tradition, the new contributing authors — Nancy Sommers, Tom Jehn, Jane Rosenzweig, and Marcy Carbajal Van Horn — have crafted solutions for the challenges today’s college students face. Together they give us a new edition that provides more help with research writing and one that works better for a wider range of students.

Summary: Excellent APA GUIDE. Comment: If you are in college working on a paper that requires you to utilize the APA style, this booklet is a life saver. Customer Rating:  Summary: Straightforward Guide; Expanded Fifth Edition Comment: A Pocket Style Manual covers five sections on writing: clarity, grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and--the most important of all--citations. Straightforward and clear, this manual offers no frills, just the basics to writing research papers. The new fifth edition teaches how to cite new sources (podcasts, Wikipedia, blogs, MP3s, etc.) and even where to find citation information. It also includes more diverse research paper examples (including nursing and business) and offers more help to ESL students. Personally, I used A Pocket Style Manual just for its sections on citations. It covers MLA, APA, and Chicago style. Many of my college courses would demand different styles for research papers, and having this slim, accessible book made it much easier to skip from style to style. I barely used the other sections, not because they were faulty, but because there are more engaging resources out there. Overall, it's a solid resource to have if you're a college student. Diane Hacker also has a useful Web site (http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/pocket5e/) that contains much of the same information as her pocket book. I have the print version, because it's useful to have on hand at anytime, and I hate reading books online. Get the cheaper fourth edition (A Pocket Style Manual), if you think the fifth (see second paragraph) doesn't add anything you need. Customer Rating: Summary: Pointless Comment: I had to buy this book for a class, and it is pointless. All the information can be found for free online, so it is pretty much a waste of $20. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Tool for Your Writing Comment: I am excited to use the MLA tools in this pocket guide for writing my college papers. There is so much in this little book, and was worth ever cent of my purchase. There are lots of little things that students forget like noun/verb agreement, and possession. It is very helpful, and every student should have this! Customer Rating: Summary: A pocket style manual Comment: its an excently book to have handy. its very helpful for every class thats consists of writting.
