The Penguin handbooks have helped over ½ million students improve their writing, solve grammar problems and successfully complete their research projects.  Here’s what students are saying.

 

With its easy-to-use format, clear explanations, helpful examples, and engaging  visuals, The Penguin Handbook is sure to help you get better grades, too.

  

 “The Penguin Handbook is a great resource; it is the difference between and F or an A. I went from failing grades in the course to A’s.”

-- Heath Gattis, Texas State University

 

“Overall the book was extremely helpful. It is the only book that I have not sold or returned and I have continued to use it in all of my classes that require writing.”

--Camie Wood, Lower Columbia College

 

“I recommend buying this book, even if you are not required. The book will help you when writing any paper. It was helpful in my composition class and my other classes.” -- Brianna Flanagan, Del Mar College

 

 “This handbook has everything that you could ever want to know in it. I would recommend it to other students because it is a lifesaver.  The MLA, grammar, and punctuation sections were especially useful.” -- Kim Basara, Iowa State University

 

 “The Penguin Handbook is very helpful—straightforward and to-the-point.  It’s really easy to find the information you need.” – Nora Soto, Caldwell Community College

 

 “I noticed a drastic improvement in my writing through using The Penguin Handbook; I’m a better writer than I was.” -- Frank Antwi, Grand View College

 

“I enjoyed the layout of the book. It is highly informative and I believe every college student should have one available.”

Amanda Schorel, University of South Florida

 

“It is very colorful and not bland like other handbooks. The examples were thorough and helped me a lot when seeing which way I should cite my sources. I know it will be of great use to me in the future.”

Natalie Martell, University of Texas at El Paso

Product Description

From the Back Cover

This inexpensive and very brief version of the best-selling Penguin Handbook offers the same student-friendly strengths: a highly visual design, cutting edge coverage of research, and the best presentation of documentation available. With more visuals, photos, and sample documents than other essential handbooks, this handy full-color reference gives students just what they need to know about the writing and research processes, while providing extensive coverage of documentation and grammar.  Unique “Source Samples” in the documentation chapters give students pages from actual sources with notes explaining where to find the information to create a citation and unique “Common Errors” boxes in the grammar chapters provide quick guidance on key errors.  The Little Penguin Handbook will be an invaluable resource for students in composition courses and in courses across the curriculum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need to be known Nov 23 2010

This book was used for my English composition class . Highly recommended, very simple, useful and affordable. Besides that, I got an A in that class thanks to some of the materials inside the book . It is written very well and in plain English so you can comprehend what you are actually reading. If you need to learn how to write essays, how to cite sources and all the other "head ache" this is the way to go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Basic writing skills Jun 15 2011
By BB - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Spiral-bound
The book contains BASIC writing skills for college. Don't buy it, unless you think your writing skills are weak. It was required for my class and I didn't use it once.
