Good research work in this 10th Edition HARBRACE COLLEGE HANDBOOK. This 553 page hardback was published in 1986. From the preface we read, "The Harbrace College Handbook us a compact yet comprehensive guide for writers. Its approach is practical, its advice clearly and concisely stated. Throughout the text, abundant specific examples teach the principles of effective writing.These qualities make this handbook not only a valuable learning tool for students of composition but also a lasting resource for these students in their other college courses, as well as in their careers after college The Tenth Edition is a thorough revision of the Ninth. The two most revised sections are 'The Paragraph' (Section 32) and 'The Whole Composition'(Section 33). In section 32, the discussions of unity and coherence have been rewritten, and the treatment of methods of development has been clarified and expanded. Section 33 has been entirely rewritten. It stresses the importance of purpose and audience as it fully describes the recursive process of planning, writing, and revising. Three new compositions illustrate the flexible guidelines. Additions to this section include discussions of taking essay examinations and writing in-class papers. Some  great 'old' material in this book in very good condition. Clean unmarked pages.
