Take it from a former student--this is a worthwhile book

Even if you're not a formal student of rhetoric and composition, this book is a useful tool. The ability to construct a persuasive, credible argument is invaluable in today's society. As a former student of Dr. William Palmer, I know his technique is highly effective. This book is the next best thing to the classroom!
