Great Learning Tool

As a teacher of college-level composition, I find this reasonably priced book offers invaluable examples of strong writing for my students. All the essays are written by students, proving that even beginning writers can write quality essays for class. Most are accessible and fun to read, and they cover a variety of subjects. The students like the fact that they can identify with the writers and the subject matter, and I like the fact that they seem to do the reading voluntarily. It's recommended for use with the St. Martin's Guide to Writing, but it's a very versatile little volume. If you're a student or just someone interested in sharpening your writing skills, I recommend this book -- it's a great combination of essays all under one cover.
