The Norton Field Guide to Writing, with Readings

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780393933819) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

Easy to use, flexible, and a great value. With just enough detail - and color-coded links that send students to more detail if they need it - this is the rhetoric that tells students what they need to know and resists the temptation to tell them everything there is to know. The first rhetoric designed for easy reference, like a handbook--with menus, directories, and a glossary/index that make it easy to use--in a format that's as user-friendly as the best handbooks. With the rhetoric in front and readings in back, The Norton Field Guide to Writing, with readings includes 80+ readings in all.
