"The Prentice Hall Reference Guide for Canadian Writers, adapted by Judi Jewinski of the University of Waterloo, builds on the approach that has made the American edition so successful. This concise, thorough, well organized, and user-friendly handbook is comprised of twelve tabbed sections, ranging in topics from The Writing Process to Punctuation, aimed at addressing all forms of writers' needs. Two guides, "Question and Correct" and "Compare and Correct," allow students to find what they need to improve their writing, without needing to know the grammatical terms or rules. This makes the Prentice Hall Reference Guide for Canadian Writers an invaluable resource for entry level English writing and composition courses, as well as all students who need help with grammar, research, and documentation."
