I've used this textbook in my technical communication classes since it was first published. The text is concisely written with plenty of examples and exercises to help students understand practical online and hardcopy applications used in technical writing. However, the text edition needs to be updated. Since September 2004 I've had to heavily supplement my classes with writing applications that apply to current industry standards. My students do not know the difference, but I do. A new edition is in order! I'm planning to switch to another textbook if a newer edition is not available for September 2006.

Our professor chose this book not only because of its content, but also for its relatively inexpensive price. It was a great textbook: concise, easy to read and comprehend, and gave some excellent examples. If you are a technical writing student or even a practicing technical writer, I would recommend this book. I will not sell my copy. It's a keeper, and I believe I'll be referring to it for years to come.

My prof selected this book, because of it being cheap. For the price I got it... its worth way more.

This was required reading for my English class. A very concise book that is a great refresher for someone who has been out of school for 16 years!

I cannot fairly evaluate this product because I did not keep it. I originally ordered it because there was a snag with my ordering it from my school library. I received the book from them so I returned the one I got on Amazon.com. The service was excellent and my refund was processed expeditiously.

Book was nice and it came in the mail quick like a bunny.
