5.0 out of 5 stars Good exercise book, June 21, 2009

This review is from: Crisp: Better Business Writing, Fourth Edition: Techniques for Improving Correspondence (50-Minute Series) (Paperback)

If you want an exercise book to improve your writing, this is it. I need it to help design a biz writing course and it was useful to design activities. It's not useful in understanding the 'why' of business writing. It focuses on the doing of biz writing. I need doing so I'm happy with the book. If I needed more content to understand the 'why', then I'd be disappointed in this.

Victor Wei (New York Metro.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Better Business Writing: Third Edition (Fifty-Minute Series) (Paperback)

It seems a good book that so many people already bought, but it should not be a 7 page paperback. Can anyone tell more about it?
