I find that the student handbook is very helpful for organization. I use it almost everyday, and it is nice and easy to read. I would suggest this handbook for anyone who wants a good reveiw for the dreaded final and midterm tests, or those who want a good study guide for quizes. Its compact size fits easily into my backpack, and its quite lightweight. The paperback cover allows for rolling up when you are antagonized by a younger sibling, and also allows for even smaller take- up room in your parcel. The student handbbok is a welcome companion to the actual textbook.
