The Longman Handbook for Writers and Readers, Sixth Edition, emphasizes writing for different audiences, explores the connection between reading and writing, and presents superior writing across the curriculum coverage while also providing all the handbook basics. A comprehensive reference to writing, research, documentation, and grammar, The Longman Handbook explores the differing audiences, purposes, and conventions of various communities of writers and readers, and offers students concrete strategies for adapting their writing to meet varying rhetorical situations. While emphasizing the academic community, The Longman Handbook also explores the genres of writing that students can expect to find in public and workplace communities.

The Longman Handbook for Readers and Writers is a guide to effective writing. It is organized in chapters and has exercises that can be done if you are using it for a class. The book is not really something that you should read cover to cover, rather it would be better as a reference guide. For example, if you are bad with commas like I am there is a section on punctuation. Are your sentences too wordy? There is a section on that as well.
The book is quite exhaustive. Since it is a textbook meant for college-level classes this is an excellent thing. On the other hand, it does get a bit ridiculous with trying to foster politically correct papers. I mean, why would you call a young person of the female persuasion a girl when you can call her a pre-woman? Even my spell checker dislikes that word. In any case, I understand that you shouldn’t call someone a derogatory term, but vertically challenged replacing short is a bit much. Perhaps it is meant to pad someone's paper.
Other than that, the book is perfectly serviceable. ( )
