"The manuals are especially handy when taking a class to the
writing lab to work on research papers. Our curriculum requires research
papers of increasing degrees of difficulty using MLA style in grades
10-12. The updated information on documenting electronic resources is
especially helpful. . . .
Of course, the biggest benefit of the manual is its simplicity, so I
don't think it should be cluttered up too much!!!! My daughter is a
senior at George Washington University, and she took my first edition
with her to college and continues to use it. It is a great product.
Thanks!"

A Rookie's Guide to Research: An MLA Style
Guide is an exceptional handbook for teaching skills for
writing research papers. The research guide is the manual of choice
for rookie researchers of all ages.
Used as a standard by many school systems across the United States,
A Rookie's Guide to Research is highly acclaimed by both teachers
and students as the best handbook for writing research papers on the
market.
This user-friendly guide is appropriate for the rookie researcher from
middle school to college. Although most often used with the guidance

writers doing independent research papers or senior projects. The manual
includes
- step-by-step instructions for gathering materials, taking notes,
outlining, writing a rough draft, editing and writing the final draft,
- MLA style documentation for citing print and non-print sources,
- sample papers illustrating a basic research paper and an advanced
research paper,
- an appendix providing extra help in formulating the thesis sentence,
documenting database sources, improving sentence structure and verb
choices.
