Textbooks

Academic Year 2009–2010
New English 1001 students will use these books for two semesters: English 1001 in Fall 2009 and English 1002 in Spring 2010. That comes to about $100/semester. Furthermore, they will be useful references throughout your college career.
Ramage/Bean/Johnson. The Allyn & Bacon Guide to Writing. Custom Edition for Marquette University with MLA updates. Taken from the 4th and 5th Brief MLA Update Editions. Boston: Pearson, 2006 and 2009. Faigley. The Brief Penguin Handbook. 3rd ed. NY: Pearson, 2009. Muller. The New World Reader. 2nd ed. NY: Houghton Mifflin, 2008.
Note 1: To reduce the price to students, the two Pearson books are packaged together at MU's bookstore, along with two free books (Public Literacy and Workplace Literacy) that will be used in RhetComp 2.
Note 2: Another money-saver: The Marquette custom package from Pearson does not include MyCompLab access codes with either ABGW or the Handbook because we use Marquette's course management system, D2L.
Note 3: Fall 2009 English 1002 students will use last year's editions of the Pearson books, without the MLA updates.
