No Logo, 2nd ed. (New York: Picador, 2002)
Other:
◙ articles from newspapers, magazines, and

Search Premier databases
◙ other on-line sources that will be linked to
this website
◙ photocopies of book chapters that will be
linked to this website or distributed in class
◙ movies, which will be shown in the evening and

Recommended Texts
◙ It is strongly recommended to get a writer's
handbook, which you can find at any college bookstore or via
UsedBookSearch on-line. If you already have an MLA
Handbook from high school, that is fine. The College of
St. Benedict/St. John's University recommends Diana Hacker's
The Bedford Handbook (New York: Bedford/St. Martin's,
2006). The Bedford Handbook is excellent but
expensive, so if you would prefer to save money, I recommend
buying a used copy of Easy Writer: a Pocket Guide by
Andrew Lunsford and Robert Conners. If you buy a used copy
of Easy Writer, I advise you NOT to pay more than
$20. More than $25 is a rip-off.
