The textbook for ENGL 420 is Professional Writing Online (abbreviated as PW Online). You can purchase access to the book on the Web or at the student bookstores at Purdue. I recommend purchasing access to the book online at the book's log-in page. You'll save both money and time. Here's what you need to do to purchase online:

1. Be ready to pay with a valid credit or debit card.
2. Go to http://www.ablongman.com/pwo2e/
3. Click on "Buy Now" and follow the instructions.
4. Be sure to write down your login name and password!

Here's what you need to do to purchase at a Purdue bookstore:

1. Go to one of the student bookstores near campus (Follett's, University Bookstore) and buy the code packet for PW Online. The book is used in lots of ENGL 420 sections, so there should be plenty of copies. Cost is about $50.00. The packet includes a temporary passcode for logging into the online text.

As always, if you have any questions, let me know.
