Synopsis

The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook is a streamlined, coil-bound, full-colour version of the well-established Canadian Writer's Handbook that instructors have come to know and trust. The concise edition uses the accessible, well-organized, and classroom-tested structure of the full volume, featuring descriptions and examples of the entire writing process, from basic grammar to constructing sentences and paragraphs to proofreading and editing. Also included are EAL tools, up-to-date examples and advice on avoiding plagiarism and achieving academic integrity. The latest 2009 MLA documentation guidelines have also been added to ensure students have access to the most current resources available. Students will also value the new design, tabs for easy navigation, and the easy to use format, all of which make this a valuable reference throughout their academic career and beyond.
