Axelrod & Cooper's Concise Guide to Writing

by Rise B. Axelrod

Axelrod & Cooper's Concise Guide to Writing Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Adapted from the best-selling St. Martin’s Guide to Writing, Axelrod and Cooper’s Concise Guide to Writing provides streamlined versions of the acclaimed Guides to Writing for six of the most commonly assigned genres in the first-year writing course. The careful integration of well-chosen readings with coverage of critical reading and guided writing in the Guide chapters is complemented by fuller coverage of reading, writing, and research in chapters at the end of the book — all at a bargain price.
