5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Business Professionals, June 18, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Grammar, Style & Usage: The Most Used Desk Reference for Articulate and Polished Business Writing and Speaking by Executives Worldwide (Paperback)
This is the one book every business professional should have on (or near) their desk. It's concise nature lends itself to a perfect reference for writing and speaking in a very polished manner. Also especially helpful are the "do's and don'ts" of business grammar.

3.0 out of 5 stars Skip this book if you are a beginner of business writing or business style talking, October 21, 2011
This review is from: Business Grammar, Style & Usage: The Most Used Desk Reference for Articulate and Polished Business Writing and Speaking by Executives Worldwide (Paperback)
I just got this book today and is very disappointed. As a beginner of writing business emails and essays, I am expecting some reference book that can help polish my writing and speaking on job. All this book says is to be concise, use simple word, avoid jargon. Maybe I am wrong, but I really don't see how these simple and straightforward words could be called 'polished'. Also, this book spent half pages comparing words... a waste of money
