MLA HANDbook...?

Well, I turned in my research paper for Shakespeare yesterday, however, I made a mistake on one of the entries on my works cited page. Dr. Cox was nice enough to tell me where in the MLA handbook I could find an example on how to do it, and also allowed me to print a new copy and slip it under her door and said she would put it with my research paper. So, I FINALLY was given the opportunity to use this book that I bought my first year in college. Ironically enough, they call it a HAND book..the thing is a whopping 13 inches tall by 8 1/2 inches wide. Are you kidding me?
