Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing (11th Edition) Review
This was my favorite textbook in college, thirty five years ago. It is a good reference book and is great reading on its own. I lost my original copy awhile ago and miss it. So, at sixty years old I find myself ordering a textbook. I'm sure I can still glean much knowledge and entertainment from its many pages.
Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing (11th Edition) Overview
The material is presented in a newly revised, easier to study format and inlcudes MLA’s latest guidelines. Conversations between Dana Gioia and celebrated fiction writer Amy Tan, current U. S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan, and contemporary playwright David Ives, offer students an insider’s look into the importance of reading to three contemporary writers. A Latin American Writers casebook is new to Fiction and collects some of the finest authors from the region including Octavia Paz, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Ines Arendondo. A casebook on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” is now featured as part of the Three Stories In-depth chapter. Many new writers have been added including Naguib Mahfouz, Virginia Woolf, Sherman Alexie, Mary Oliver, Bettie Sellers, and Anne Deavere Smith. As always, editors X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia bring personal warmth and a human perspective to the Eleventh Edition of this comprehensive anthology.

horrible - dnelson -
i ordered and paid for a book from this seller after waiting 2 weeks to get my book i contacted him and he informed me, he "sold it awhile ago."
HORRIBLE - cmvasquez -
I had a horrible experience with purchasing from Belltower books. Not only did they lie about the shipping date it took them OVER TWO DAYS to ship a single book. Also once shipped your textbook could arrive up to 3 weeks later. Horrible for any student trying to get a book quickly for class. When I attempted emailing the as well they only sent emails that never answered my questions and that gave me a run around. All in all the only HORRIBLE experience I have had from online shopping.
