Review
"The Broadview Guide to Writing (4/e) registers the seriousness of academic writing yet reads like an amiable conversation with writers. ... Seldom have I encountered a handbook that demonstrates so concretely the connection between how we think and what we write.... The new section on sentence combining is welcome. Other features I value include the emphasis on writing-across-the-curriculum and the up-to-date MLA documentation guide. I don't think it's possible to include more in a handbook than this reasonably priced volume contains." - Robyn Fowler, University of Alberta
"The overall structure of this book is similar to [that of Andrea] Lunsford. The prose is highly readable and the authors address questions such as 'correctness' very well." - University of Michigan English 229 Textbook Committee
.".. Offers solid advice on matters of style and usage without being repetitive or overly elaborate." - Richard Collier, Mount Royal College
