The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook - Softcover
"The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook is a streamlined version of the well-established Canadian Writer's Handbook. This handbook features the accessible, well-organized structure of the full volume, including descriptions and examples of the entire writing process: from basic grammar to constructing sentences and paragraphs, pre-writing, composing, proofreading, and editing. The text is suitable for students of all levels of study and includes EAL icons that point to material of particular benefit to students learning English as an additional language. This new edition features an updated and expanded documentation section that includes more citations for online sources, as well as colour coding to help students recognize the common elements among in-text and reference citations."--

"The major strengths of this text are its ease of use and its conciseness. . . . I would not consider any other text for use in any course that covers the fundamentals of writing."
--Cindy Soldan, Lakehead University
"This is a great book. It is accessible for students, has great built-in resources (such as the appendix and revisions symbols), and is thorough, with plenty of examples."
