About This Item
Trade paperback. Contains 59 essays of varying length, selected to illustrate a number of rhetorical concepts. These include Cause/Effect, Comparison/Contrast, Definition, Description, Division/Classification, Exemplification, Exposition, Narration, Persuasion/Argument, and Process Evaluation.
I would be telling you here just how good the condition of this book is, with little external wear, no spine creases and clean, tight and unmarked pages. All that is true, but please take a look at the second photograph. note the wavy texture to the upper left corner in that photo. This is a spot where some water must have been spilled at some time. This has given the last 100 pages or so the waviness that come from paper that has gotten wet. The last 50 pages have the greatest impact, dwindling to just the extreme corner after that. Everything is perfectly readable, it's just that some of the pages at the end are not as nice and pretty. I have cut the price accordingly. (The six copies I found on the market range from $6 to $66.)
