“The Brief Bedford Reader is accessible, engaging, and transforming…. The range of essays in the text by well-known writers provides the course instructor great freedom to combine essays, techniques, and purposes.”
— Dona M. Cady, Middlesex Community College
“The Brief Bedford Reader is an excellent introduction to college-level writing, particularly for the student who is less confident in his or her writing. The text prepares students for a variety of different writing situations that they’re sure to encounter in college and in the workforce and also prepares them to become critical readers of the world around them.
