Informative and Easy to Read

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2012

This book was informative and easy to read and understand. I took this class remotely and I felt that it was easy to "teach myself" because of this.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007

I had to buy this book as part of a college course curriculum.

This is a great book for someone who is looking to beef up their business writing skills. I really like it as a 'reference' manual. It shows examples of how to write and communicate in the business world, basically what to and what not to say and do.

It is also easy to read and understand, which is a big plus for an educational literary work.

Hella boring.

Could use some updating.

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a good book to give you detailed information on different kinds of writing you might do at an office. The only problem with the book is that it was written in the early 2000s, making for a very boring computer chapter, because they were talking about how to use different programs like we have never seen a computer before. I think that this book needs to be updated, especially the chapter on computers, but other than that, definitely a good resource for everything business related, including reports, resumes, e-mails, memos, letters of all kinds, among other things.
