Hodges Harbrace College Handbook – Grammar by Hodges and Whitten

Description

Hodges Harbrace College Handbook – Grammar by Hodges and Whitten – this is a hardback edition of the college handbook on grammar published in 1977 by John C. Hodges and Mary E. Whitten.

Filled with reference materials on grammar, the mechanics of writing, punctuation, spelling and diction, effective sentences and then a discussion on larger elements of writing such as composition, papers and business writing.

The Thirteenth Edition of the Harbrace is the result of an exhaustive market research effort to make a great handbook even better. Over 300 faculty members participated in reviews, surveys, focus groups, and telephone interviews. The result is the first significant revision to the Harbrace in its history. While remaining a grammar-first handbook, the Thirteenth Edition reflects a complete reorganization of chapters, new examples from contemporary writers, and a writing style that is more descriptive than prescriptive. The new Harbrace is easier to use and more accessible to students than ever.

The book is in excellent condition for its age. It measures 7-1/2 inches x 5 inches x 1 inch with 480 pages
