Summary: Lester & Lester, Jr's Writing Research Papers, 10th Ed.
Comment: I've written both MLA and APA research papers, and now I teach research writing. THIS IS THE ONE. I use a textbook (usually focusing on Argument/Rhetoric) and Lester's as the reference. It provides a wealth of solid advice, examples, outlines, guides, visuals and Web site addresses. Even though this as an English course, practically none of my students are English majors... so why teach MLA only when they'll have to use APA (social sciences) or CBE (science majors) in the not too distant future? This book addresses that and includes CMS (Humanities, Fine Arts). The appendix is EXCELLENT with the locations of sources for multiple disciplines ranging from Anthropology to Women's Studies.

If your not an English major (and most aren't) and you want to learn research writing from source material to presentation style, this is the reference book.

Summary: Writing Research Papers... -- Entertainmentopia Review
Comment: This was required as my text book for my English 102 class at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona, so even if I didn't like the book I would have had to buy it.

As it stands, the book gives a wealth of information needed on the two primary writing styles, MLA and APA. While the book gives ample time to each of them most English teachers, unless they have something physically wrong with them, like to use MLA style which is easier for students to write in.

The book is spiral bound which makes using it easier because you can open it to a page and there is no nasty crease, and you can fold it back when your turn the page to keep it small on your desk, especially if you have alot of notes.

The only thing to be said is that, since it is primarily used as a college text book, it falls apart faster than a Ford Truck. Pages will rip out during use and the pages themselves are very thin and prone to ripping.

You more than likely don't have any choice on this book as it will be required for class, just take good car of it and it should work out good enough to get some money back when you trade it to the bookstore.

Summary: Would you like MLA or APA with that?
Comment: "Writing Research Papers: A complete Guide" is essential to those who write these papers often. The first 130 pages serve as a basic review of Information and rot Data collection mixed with organizational schemes, parallelism and whatnot. The last 250 pages discuss in detail Modern language Association (MLA) format and American Psychological Association (APA) format research papers. I personally recommend that you buy the tabbed book, while it is more expensive; it provides easy access to the very difficult APA Reference page material and data. In all honesty, the only real importance to this book is the APA materials, as MLA is intrinsically easy, and most people who pick up this book have already dealt with the basic material, which is at the front of the book. This book offers some use to the more experienced research paper writers, and exponentially more to those with less experience.
