Two guides, "Question and Correct" and "Compare and Correct," allow students to find what they need to improve their writing, without needing to know the grammatical terms or rules. This makes the Prentice Hall Reference Guide for Canadian Writers an invaluable resource for entry level English writing and composition courses, as well as all students who need help with grammar, research, and documentation.

**** About itself the 8th edition notes: "Primarily intended as an instructional guide for library personnel and researchers who work with reference materials, the Guide surveys the basic and most familiar or typical resources for general reference work, and for work with the disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, and pure and applied sciences." The 7th edition, titled Guide to basic reference materials . . . , is recommended by ARBA, v.16, but is missed by BCL3 and Sheehy. A solid work marred by the flimsy paper binding--a shockingly bad production decision: a bibliography gets repeated use. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
