Product Description

A Guide To Mla Documentation1
I was expecting a book, but I received a pamphlet instead. There was nothing special about the content. So, because of the price and lack of content I returned the order. It wasn't worth the price.

Wonderful product and super fast shipping5
I was very pleased with my new book for so cheap and I received the book three days after I placed the order!

it's okay, i guess...4
This is only 52 pages, and even though it is new, it has not changed much since I was in high school 10 years ago. this is the 7th ed, and the 3rd ed that I had in high school is essentially the same thing. I figured it would have fresher ways to document internet sources for my research paper. I was wrong. it is useful, though. and if you are taking any college-level writing classes, you will need it. for me, though, I would not have bought it if I could have looked through it first (since I already had the older edtion).
