A Guide to MLA Documentation

The Eighth Edition of A Guide to MLA Documentation is an affordable, concise guide that provides only the information that you really need and-according to many students and instructors-is easier to use than the MLA's own handbook.

Find what you need fast. The two-color design, a numbering system to help locate examples, and an index all make information easy to find.

Get the writing advice you want. The eighth edition includes useful hints on taking notes, summarizing, incorporating quotations, paraphrasing, and avoiding plagiarism.
