Cengage Advantage Books: The Pocket Wadsworth Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used the previous version, The Pocket Holt Handbook,
in the past and loved it because it was slim, visual,
colorful, and easy to use.
All the things I liked about the Holt are missing here.
It's thicker and more bloated. It's more expensive --
as usual for these things. And it's harder to find
things. All the color markers are gone. The brightness
is gone. It looks exactly like every dull, boring,
grammar handbook out there.
I guess I have no choice but to order it for my
students -- the alternatives are monsters that
weigh a ton and cost a fortune. However, I'll
continue to use my little Holt -- and encourage
my students to look for used copies if they can.
