The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing Review

This was required reading for a college course. However, I was very pleasantly surprised on the concise, straightforward manner in which Michael Harvey wrote the book. He covers a variety of topics that will lead to an increase in writing quality. It was my one point of enjoyment in my reading assignment for the week.

The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing Overview

Engagingly written and illustrated with scores of telling examples, this plainspoken how-to book for college writers identifies those qualities that most typically distinguish good writing from bad and provides practical measures for avoiding pitfalls.

Included are do's and don'ts for achieving concision, clarity, and flow, as well as pointers on using punctuation, writing gracefully, citing sources, and structuring persuasive writing.

Championing "the plain style" with a keen appreciation for the uses to which language can be put—including abuses to which it is prone—The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing is a guide that never fails to remind readers why good writing matters so much in the first place, in college and beyond.

Easy reading, fantastic - Beautiful Lady - DC USA
The new book Nuts and Bolts purchased from Amazon was easy reading, short to the point,compact and an easy carrying pocket guide. This book arrived in excellent condition and is user friendly. I have made many purchases from Amazon has been completely satisfied with the receipt of every purchase.



Good overall book on college writing - B. L. Brown -
Well I would give the book 5 stars but I thought it lacked a bit in advice for content. It had a lot of info regarding formatting, punctuation, etc. But not as much as I would have liked on writing a good introduction, conclusion, thesis, etc.

Still a great book; I definitely recommend it.






not high school friendly - Tutoringmom - Texas
I was very disappointed in this product after purchasing it for my 11th grader. The book is an ode to the authors intelligence; lots and lots of unnecessary explanations that serve no purpose. When I attempted to incorporate it into my family's home study regiment, I became frustrated with the book!!! (Yes I am college educated and degreed. This book needs to lure the student in rather than repel them.

Customer Reviews

Seller send the book on time and saved lots of money! - XYZ -
Very cheap and half the price then buying from any book store and seller send the book on time.



The worst seller - Kung S. Park -
It's been more than a month since I placed the order and I have not received my book. Amazon charged my credit card a month ago and I did not received my order. This is worst experience I have with Amazon.com. by the seller name "imthebestseller".



Not high on my list - D. Fitzhugh - Herndon, VA
I have used this book in the past, but I would never order if I were making a book choice unless the class is for native speakers. This book is published (I believe) by the ESL division of Pearson, but I believe it is too complex for ESL students. The language is difficult and it is too "science"-oriented for my taste. I think it works better in ESL as a reference book for the instructor, to be honest. Also, I would have given it two stars except that one of the introductory paragraphs repeats the often-spread rumor about Eskimos having a bazillion words for snow. Any text that spreads this nonsense is off to a bad start.

Check Out The Jest Book (THE CHOICEST ANECDOTES AND SAYINGS)

The Jest Book (THE CHOICEST ANECDOTES AND SAYINGS) Review

Mark Lemon's is not a famous name, but it should be, for he was the first editor of "Punch," the British humor magazine that was in some ways, for decades, the British New Yorker. The founders of the journal said, when announcing his editorship, "Every good punch needs a little lemon" (Mark Lemon was short). To have his collection of jokes, stories, and sayings is to give an insight into part of the mentality behind the magazine. The humor isn't modern American, but some of the zingers are funny. It will me in my own work on older jest books.

The Jest Book (THE CHOICEST ANECDOTES AND SAYINGS) Overview

From the PREFACE:

The Compiler of this new Jest Book is desirous to make known that it is composed mainly of old jokes,-some older than Joe Miller himself,-with a liberal sprinkling of new jests gathered from books and hearsay. In the course of his researches he has been surprised to find how many Jests, Impromptus, and Repartees have passed current, century after century, until their original utterer is lost in the "mist of ages"; a Good Joke being transferred from one reputed Wit to another, thus resembling certain rare Wines which are continually being rebottled but are never consumed. Dr. Darwin and Sir Charles Lyell, when they have satisfied themselves as to the Origin of Species and the Antiquity of Man, could not better employ their speculative minds than in determining the origin and antiquity of the venerable "joes" which have been in circulation beyond the remembrance of that mythical personage, "the Oldest Inhabitant."

A true Briton loves a good joke, and regards it like "a thing of beauty," "a joy forever," therefore we may opine that Yorick's "flashes of merriment, which were wont to set the table in a roar," when Hamlet was king in Denmark, were transported hither by our Danish invaders, and descended to Wamba, Will Somers, Killigrew, and other accredited jesters, until Mr. Joseph Miller reiterated many of them over his pipe and tankard, when seated with his delighted auditory at the Black Jack in Clare Market.

English Grammar for Students of German: The Study Guide for Those Learning German Review

I used this book in my begining German class in college and found it to be extremely helpful. It is easy to follow and read. English is one of my worst subjects in school however, this book helped me not only in German class but helped me get a better understanding of English grammar as well. I am more confident in my English classes when it comes to grammar just from using this book in my German class for German grammar.

Great way to purchase school books.....online! - SurfMaiden - NorCal
buying books online is way better and a necessity with the skyrocketing costs of school books now! the big difference is the fact that they are cheaper online and now they are shipped super fast so it can get into the student's hands in time to study for that first assignment!



satisfactory - Stevie Friend - orange county Ca
the product was a reasonable price and shipped on time im happy with the purchase






Great for basic review of Grammar - Kevin J. Polite - Atlanta, G.A.
This is great book if you need to go back and review basic English Grammar and a comparative study of English Grammar and German Grammar. E.G. English speakers are not accustomed to putting the verb and the end of the sentence. There are other books out there that give a better overview of German Grammar, however, this does a great job of comparing the two and just a basic review of Grammar in general.
