The first rhetoric designed for easy reference with menus, directories, and a glossary/index that make it easy to use.The Norton Field Guide to Writing with Handbook is 2 books in one the rhetoric is up front, providing the guidance students need on writing and research; the handbook is in the back, helping them edit what they write.
