Rich Literature. A great collection of American writings! April 15, 2008
I had to buy this book for a class and have been impressed with how many writings it contains. It also discusses different styles and provides in-depth descriptions to make the poetry and stories more understandable to the average reader. I would recommend this book for someone interested in reading fine literature. It also comes in handy for writers as well.

Book was in great condition when it arrived. Glad i didnt buy from bookstore at school and spend more because i barely used it in my Eng Comp II. But i was actually able to sell back to the school and almost got back what i paid for it. Good purchase.
Excellent Literature Book!!! December 11, 2007
This literature book has a wealth of knowledge for creative writers. This book is a goldmine regarding literature and how it impacts on structure, sound and sense. I really enjoyed the section on poetry. It covers the elements of poetry in an excellent fashion. One is able to get an enhanced understanding of literature and the various aspects of such a dynamic subject, regarding poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The selected pieces in the book are easily read, and are packed with images. Get ready to read a great literature book and be prepared for an accelerated boost in the world of literature. This is also a great reference book for future use. Other great books for relaxation are: "Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul," which feature the new Epulaeryu poetry form, "Everyday Miracles," and "The Language of Poetry Forms."

I am an A.P. teacher who ordered several copies from Amazon, and after a year, the bindings on the books were destroyed. Not from mistreatment, they were destroyed from mere usage. I contacted my representive from Thomson who said that since I went through Amazon, I had to take it up with them. So I did. They said that after thirty days, it is not their problem.
My suggestion is, first and foremost, find another book. Sure the content is unparalleled, but the service from the publisher is awful. Second, if you must have this book, don't use Amazon. Go order this book directly from the publisher or you will lose your investment. For me, each book came out to be about $80. At seven books, my school district can't afford that each year.
