A good primer for a student or review for the experienced manager who wants to hone communications skills. It includes information and exercises on just about every mode and type of communication. I will not give it 4 stars as the web site does not have much worth looking at and the CD is pretty useless as well.

Kitty Locker's latest edition of Business and Administrative Communication includes the writing basics as well excellent information on using electronic media. The strongest part of this book? The examples. They reliably demonstrate the principles she introduces. Although expensive, I believe this book provides excellent value. I use it in a junior-level college business communication class.

Kitty Locker's Business and Administrative Communication, 5th ed. is the most considerate educational text I've reviewed for my business writing course. My classes typically include upper level English majors, but it is not uncommon for business majors and ESL students to register too. This student diversity usually presents difficulties because their writing abilities vary tremendously. Thankfully, I found Locker's text. It provides examples of real-life business writing and Internet communication situations highlighted with graphics, sidebars, tables and pictures colorfully presented. This textual consideration, I found, enables students to grasp both the theory and the reality of business communication outside their academic walls.

Thanks to this book I got more than 99% on my Professional Writing class. This book isn't just for college students; it is good for anyone who is in the market for new job. It talked about business communication (it's on the title) but that includes oral, written, how to do research paper, how to write proposals, what to expect and dress during an interview, how to write a follow up letter (thank you note), types of cover letters and how to tap into the hidden job market, types of resumes and online job search, e-mailing, types of letters (like fundraising) etc. (the list goes on and on). This is an excellent book for anyone learning about the current job market or what to expect. Ms. Locker is an excellent career coach and the book proves it. I applied to few job postings online (as a test on this book), and got replies from all of them and was called for interviews. I don't know about others but I'm very impressed with this book.

I purchased this used book for my Communications class. The book's contents were absolutely fantastic. It is a book that is great to use as future reference.

I am currently using this book in class. It is very informative and the text is easy to read. Good supplement book if your school uses another version of this book.

I needed to get this book for a college class. I found it on here much cheaper than I would be able to buy it at school for

I needed this text for my Business Communications course. It is really helpful and I will keep it as a reference. Great seller too - arrived on time and as expected!

I feel this is a very good book. It is current and up to date on how to do things from sending a professional resume to making a proposal and anything in between. It is a very important part of anyone's reference library.

This is an older edition of the text book, but everything was still the same material. Chapters were just rearranged. Don't waste money on the newest edition, get the best deal you can. This was a perfect purchase and save me over $100.00 even with express shipping.
