Writing Books
Which of these 3 writing books is better?
I’m a freshman college student. I’m looking for a good writing book to keep in my library for reference. I’ve read good reviews of 3 books, all written by Diana Hacker. “The Bedford Handbook”, “Rules for Writers”, and “A Writer’s Reference”. Which one is more recommended? Which one of the 3 would you recommend? Please give explanation. I would like it if professors and students who have tried them help.
I am not familiar with those books but do feel compelled to recommend The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White. It is a classic and can be picked up used for very little money. It is the volume on which many subsequent books have been styled and it never hurts to have several references ready to hand.
