Review
“Demystifies academic argumentation.” — Patricia Bizzell, College of the Holy Cross “This book demystifies rhetorical moves, tricks of the trade that many students are unsure about. It’s reasonable, helpful, nicely written … and hey, it’s true. I would have found it immensely helpful myself in high school and college.” — Mike Rose, University of California, Los Angeles “The best tribute to “They Say / I Say” I’ve heard is this, from a student: “This is one book I’m not selling back to the bookstore.” Nods all around the room. The students love this book.” — Christine Ross, Quinnipiac University “The argument of this book is important-that there are “moves” to academic writing … and that knowledge of them can be generative. The template format is a good way to teach and demystify the moves that matter. I like this book a lot.” — David Bartholomae, University of Pittsburgh “A brilliant book… It’s like a membership card in the academic club.” — Eileen Seifert, DePaul University “Students need to walk a fine line between their work and that of others, and this book helps them walk that line, providing specific methods and techniques for introducing, explaining, and integrating other voices with their own ideas.” — Libby Miles, University of Rhode Island “This book uncovers the rhetorical conventions that transcend disciplinary boundaries, so that even freshmen, newcomers to the academy, are immediately able to join in the conversation.” — Margaret Weaver, Missouri State University

I teach composition/rhetoric at a two-year college and I have required the previous (second) edition of this book for a couple years.
I chose this text initially because, unlike a lot of composition texts, the writing voice in TS/IS is very personable, easy to follow, and unpretentious. It occasionally shows a nerdy sense of humor which, surprisingly, my students don’t seem to mind.
The book addresses issues that I wish I had been taught as an undergrad, like "saying why it matters," or even the concept of "they say/I say" itself, which looks at how to take empty, boring writing, and put it in context so readers are interested in it. Instead of lecturing about the same tired old essay structure, the book approaches the task like a personal quest: make yourself clear, be interesting, and have integrity as a writer. Anything it omits or only touches on, like MLA style or research tips, can easily be supplemented.
The publisher’s price on the second edition (without the readings, many of which can be found online anyway) remains an affordable $25. And I was pleased to see this new third edition also at $25 (on the Norton site, anyway). The price allows me to pair this required text with another inexpensive book on style to capture the more technical side of writing.
My only disappointment is that while TS/IS is FINALLY available as an e-book in the new third edition, it is limited in platform, and comes with this disclaimer: "Our eBooks are Flash based and will not work on the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and some android devices."
