Write for College Handbook (08) softcover

There is great similarity between the 2001 edition and the 2006 edition of Writer's INC Handbook including the cover and inside graphics. The content is more or less the same but organization is slightly different.

The additional components strengthen the grammar instruction, and the teacher's book fills in around the edges.
