Good college writers are curious, engaged, reflective, and responsible. They read critically. They write with purpose. They tune into their audience. They collaborate and seek feedback. They know credible evidence makes them credible researchers. They revise. The Bedford Handbook, based on surveys with more than 1,000 first-year college students, fosters these habits and offers more support than ever before for college reading and writing. New writing guides support students as they compose in an ever-wider variety of genres, including multimodal genres. New reading support encourages students to become active readers. Retooled research advice emphasizes inquiry and helps writers cite even the trickiest digital sources confidently and responsibly. Best of all, the Handbook remains a trusted companion for students because it is accessible, comprehensive, and authoritative. Instructors benefit, too: A substantially revised Instructor’s Edition includes Nancy Sommers’s personal mentoring—more than 100 new concrete tips for teaching with the handbook. Finally, integrated digital content is easily assignable and helps students practice and apply the handbook’s lessons. See what's in the LaunchPad

Let me start by saying that I HATE college, I HATE reading, I HATE writing, and I HATE textbooks. But I LOVE this book.This... this handy little book is a thousand times more awesome than the internet. So much easier to get TONS of super specific citations. Every time I look up how to cite things I get some annoying outdated or inaccurate website that doesn't include new media from which to cite. This book tells you how to cite a tweet on TWITTER. That's plenty up to date if you ask me, and such a valuable addition to my bookshelf. If your prof says get this, get it. If your prof does not, still buy it. And make sure to literally BUY it. Do not rent it. B U Y T H E B O O K because you will be referring to it constantly through your college years and possibly even way after you've earned your degree. I use it constantly and I would be so lost without it. This book straight up got me on the Dean's list and helped me get the grades I need for my career in psychology.BUY IT. DO IT NOOOOW.
I like this book a lot. It was one of the recommendations to my English class. They provide online access to exercises that can help a lot if you take them seriously. The only issue I would say about The Bedford Handbook is that sometimes the reading doesn't follow a patter because we are always recommended to go back to different pages. Ex. let's say you are reading p. 250 and they say 'p. 145 has more details'. I mean, it is ok, but I would rather the book has followed a sequence. Anyways, I recommend the book!
As an English student, this reference book is easy to understand and use. It is a great help whether I am writing short stories, doing homework, or working on a novel.
Best price for high school textbooks and required material. has the best prices on new textbooks for high school students. The Bedford Handbook is much smaller than textbook size and looks more like a thick handheld novel. This came with other required reading material and was packaged in a book box without damage.
For me this book was a requirement for a class, so I didn't have much choice but to buy it. Other then this the book is alright, it helps with grammar. However it doesn't really follow the sequence, for exercises.
My professor uses this book the most.
I got this for my college class. I'm an English major, but even non-English majors should have this. It has pretty much everything concerning grammar, citations, quotes - so much useful info!
I like that I could rent this using my kindle. Didn't know that you can rent from for college textbooks. I'll be checking for future textbooks needed.
