Customer Reviews

decent shipping time

The book was just the one I needed. The shipping time wasn't bad got to me in a reasonable amount of time.

On time

Ordered right during the holidays and was pleased that it came right on time and in good shape.

The Brief Bedford Reader is excellent

I purchased this book to use as a text for a composition course I teach. It features excellent sections on composition topics like cause and effect, narration, process analysis, classification, etc. The selections in the book really are "brief". Most are between three and five pages long. The topics and authors addressed are real-world, high interest issues that make great discussion pieces. Personally, I enjoyed reading the selections. They are excellent casual reading pieces.

The Bedford Reader

An excellent collection of stylistically important works. Very well-organized and informative as well as fun to read.
