Editorial Review:

Laurie Kirszner and Stephen Mandell, best-selling authors with more than twenty-five years' experience teaching college writing, know what works in the classroom. In Patterns for College Writing, they offer a balance of classic and contemporary essays by writers like Sandra Cisneros, Deborah Tannen, E. B.White, and Henry Louis Gates Jr., providing students with exemplary models for their writing--and instructors with excellent, class-tested selections. With extensive headnotes before each reading, abundant apparatus after, and more examples of student writing than any other reader, Patterns has always been an exceptional resource for students. In the tenth edition, a new chapter on editing and proofreading in Part One, "The Writing Process," gives students more help recognizing and correcting errors common in their writing, while Part Two, "Readings for Writers," offers a greater number of informative and argumentative essays, preparing students better than ever for the demands of college writing.

BOOK CAME IN MY OPINION,CAME IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND ON TIME !!! THE DESCRIPTION WAS MODEST.
I WOULD ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

Did Not Ship Purchase Paid For:

I was emailed by Amazon, on August 22, 2009, saying the book that I paid for was shipped. On september, 14 2009, After four and a half weeks of waiting for my book, I tracked the purchase myself to find that it had never been shipped. Why wasn't I contacted emediately, so that I could order it again in time for my fall classes starting? CBC_books no longer had the used book that I ordered and paid for in August. I am now waiting for my check refund, although I paid with credit card. Still have not recieved... more info
