An earlier edition of this book was required for one of my undergraduate english courses. At the time, I thought it was the best writer's reference ever written.
The reason its so good is because it is both designed very well and has great content that is simple to understand. One of the most frustrating aspects of writing well is finding the rule that you need to reference to correct something you've written improperly. The Hacker's guide makes almost every rule and example easy to find. First, it is spiral bound so a writer can open the page and it lays flat where most other writer's references are tightly bound stiff small books that refuse to stay open. Second, this book is tabbed with special tabs for punctuation, grammar, and an MLA quick reference guide. So, the tabs and the spiral bound are great. In addition to the ease of use through tabs and the spiral binding, this book is filled with great examples and of the rules that it explains. The examples and clear descriptions of the rules and how to use them, round out the package. Overall its the best writer's reference out there.
One thing, the book alone will not make you write better, but it will give you the tools and if you spend the time with it, your writing will improve. Mine still needs quite a bit of work but thanks to Diana Hacker, my point generally comes across in my writing.
