I think the authors have done a wonderful job with this reference manual. I find myself using this book almost daily for personal reference in spite of the fact that I have used it to teach for the past seven years.

There is no better organization than HOW 10; it is very clear.

I have been a HOW user since HOW 2. I can always find the answers to my questions in HOW. This is not always the case with other reference books. Other texts do not have all the illustrations found in HOW; they are not as easy to understand. The workbook reinforces language arts skills with excellent practice material.
