Perrine's Literature: Structure, Sound, and Sense 9th Edition

I was a little shocked to see that I had to buy a text book, and wasn't prepared; but I quickly saw that I didn't need to be. This text book was just what I needed, at an affordable price, and just underneath the 'new' quality. I'm very happy. Thanks!

This has been an asset for me. This book was a great buy. The cost was exceptional and the product was perfect. Very, very little damage in a corner, nothing that would be highly noticed. Other than that, it was like buying a brand new book.

Son needed it for class in high school. Being a teenager his thoughts were the same as most other teenagers taking a leterature class.

It was exactly what we had ordered, we just ordered in error because she thought she lost her other book. Thank you for understanding and accepting our return.

This literature book has a wealth of knowledge for creative writers. This book is a goldmine regarding literature and how it impacts on structure, sound and sense. I really enjoyed the section on poetry. It covers the elements of poetry in an excellent fashion. One is able to get an enhanced understanding of literature and the various aspects of such a dynamic subject, regarding poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The selected pieces in the book are easily read, and are packed with images. Get ready to read a great literature book and be prepared for an accelerated boost in the world of literature. This is also a great reference book for future use. Other great books for relaxation are: "Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul," which feature the new Epulaeryu poetry form, "Everyday Miracles," and "The Language of Poetry Forms."

I had to buy this book for a class and have been impressed with how many writings it contains. It also discusses different styles and provides in-depth descriptions to make the poetry and stories more understandable to the average reader. I would recommend this book for someone interested in reading fine literature. It also comes in handy for writers as well.

Should have read the previous review about ripped covers. Very 😞

I am an A.P. teacher who ordered several copies from Amazon, and after a year, the bindings on the books were destroyed. Not from mistreatment, they were destroyed from mere usage. I contacted my representive from Thomson who said that since I went through Amazon, I had to take it up with them. So I did. They said that after thirty days, it is not their problem.My suggestion is, first and foremost, find another book. Sure the content is unparalleled, but the service from the publisher is awful. Second, if you must have this book, don't use Amazon. Go order this book directly from the publisher or you will lose your investment. For me, each book came out to be about $80. At seven books, my school district can't afford that each year.
