 I am ambivalent to A Writer's Reference because I do not feel it is necessary to have students purchase a text when there is reliable and solid information online. I am ambivalent to the Clifford and Schilb texts because Matter is too large for our purposes and Making Arguments has limited readings.

 Making Literature Matter is expensive and its drama section is very very weak. There must be better texts out there than this one for our department.
