Book Review: The MLA Pocket Handbook Review
Summary: 2 Stars
Unfortunately, it was overpriced and just a sketch of what the MLA actually contains, rather than explanations, etc. If the price had been much lower, I would have understood it was just a brief sketch of the overall format. Unfortunately, it is of little use to me as is.
Summary of The MLA Pocket Handbook: Rules for Format & Documentation
This handbook is ideal for preparing undergraduate essays. It was specifically designed with the average student's needs in mind. The book is intended to cover the vast majority of situations that the normal student will encounter while writing an essay. Organized for speed and brevity, the book is primarily a concentrated, up-to-date guide on MLA format (6 pages), documentation requirements (13 pages In-Text, 19 pages Works Cited entries) with a heavy emphasis on examples and visual aids (85 to be exact). Additionally the book contains pointers on how to get started, what to document, what notes to take (by source type), and how to handle quotes of varying length. All of this information is contained in a book designed to fit in a shirt pocket.
