Texts:   You may purchase texts at your campus bookstore or through any reputable vendor. 

		Literature Anthology: Required      Gardner. Literature: A Portable Anthology, Bedford St. Martins. ISBN: 0312412797 Be aware that there is a newer edition. I chose not to adopt it, because you can't buy it used yet. For that reason, it may be possible to find the old edition for less money through outside vendors who want to get rid of them. The downside is that you will probably have a hard time selling it after the semester is over.
		Handbook: Recommended. Lunsford. The Easy Writer. 3rd ed. Bedford St. Martin's ISBN: 0-312-43309-3 Note: if you already own a writing handbook such as the Bedford or Harbrace Handbooks, contact me. You may not want to buy The Easy Writer.
