"The Broadview Guide remains the most readable writing guide available-at any price. It's the only usage guide I've ever actually read for fun. Moreover, it's sensible, and it's complete. - The authors assume nothing, but they don't condescend." - Jacky Bolding, University of the Fraser Valley
"an excellent choice. - The expanded coverage of the sixth edition [makes] this not only a comprehensive writing guide, but also a valuable introduction to communication and critical thinking in today's academic world. I will be recommending this text to students at all levels." - Maria DiCenzo, Wilfrid Laurier University
"While it is often difficult to distinguish one writing handbook from another - The Broadview Guide to Writing proves exceptional in a number of ways. - [It is] an accessible and relevant guide for twenty-first century college students, with a keen eye toward process, style, and documentation." - Karen Head, Special Advisor to the Writing & Communication Program, The Georgia Institute of Technology
"In a market replete with writing guides, this practical book stands out - The [Broadview] Guide - re-energizes this pedagogical field by providing clear and concise explanations supported by examples." - Anne Quéma, Acadia University
"Comprehensive, affordable, and student-friendly." - Candice Rai, English Department, University of Washington-Seattle
"[The] reference sections on grammar and usage - cover everything I would ever point out in student writing. - The section on MLA style covers pretty much everything anyone needs to know about how to deploy this system of documentation. - The sections on academic writing are [also] very good." - Bruce Greenfield, Dalhousie University
