Award winning text books

"... designed for both students and teachers of the HSC English course,
it presents complex and sometime demanding material
in a clear, readable and logical format. This, combined with
the colour images and the extensive notes and activities, lifts it above
much of the material produced for HSC English courses. It deserves to
be widely used, and the authors are to be congratulated for their
valuable contribution in this area of English studies."
