Overview
<p>Relied on by generations of writers, the <i>MLA Handbook</i> is published by the Modern Language Association and is the only official, authorized book on MLA style.

With this focus on source evaluation as the cornerstone of citation, MLA style promotes the skills of information and digital literacy so crucial today.<br><br>The many new and updated chapters make this edition the comprehensive, go-to resource for writers of research papers and anyone citing sources, from business writers, technical writers, and freelance writers and editors to student writers and the teachers and librarians working with them.
