The Short Prose Reader is a rhetorically organized reader that maintains the best features of the earlier editions: lively reading selections supported by helpful apparatus to integrate reading and writing in college composition and reading courses. In working through the text, the student progresses from key aspects of the writing and reading processes to chapters on the essential patterns of writing and then to more rigorous forms of analysis and argument. Each chapter provides diverse and lively prose models suited for discussion, analysis, and imitation.

I tried renting for the first time. I don't know if it is the best way to go. I feel as though I need to put the book in some sort of protective case. Also, the professor wants us to write in the book for reference. So, I guess it all depends on the class and how good you are at taking care of your book.

The book was a requirement for one of my classes, but after reading several of the short essays, I began to enjoy the book. I would recommend it to anyone, even a teenager who needs ideas for writing papers. The essays are short and easy to read, yet make for amazing dialogue.

This book was a used book.It had very little high light and also pen marks with bended pages.It was most definitely a deal though i bought it for a really cheap pricei can still read over the text no pages missing.will consider buying other books.

beats buying it at the college book store, you can get it for 40 to 50 dollars cheaper here a++

I bought for a composition class.This book is good for students.Here are many example essays.so I would like to recommend 70 %.

Great book. I rented this book to use in my English class. There are some pretty good stories from the authors point of view when writing this.

The book is in good condition.I love the book and I am satisfied with the book.It meets my expectations.The print is very clear.

Perfect Sheen, was the edition I needed, arrived right on time, and is still has a place in my library for future reference.
