This book is an excellent tool for writing, especially for the non-native English writer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a study guide with many examples that have been updated for the current business environment. The numerous samples and the grammar review are very helpful for studying the fundamentals. This book is extremely relevant in a business world crowded with a cornucopia of poor writing, misspelling, and incorrect grammar usage. My heartfelt thanks to Ms. Guffey for writing such an excellent guide.

I am an instructor for a local college. I selected the Essntials of Business Communication as the textbook for my Business Communications course after working with it in a previous class. It is the best organized text I have found with step by step instructions for students to readily grasp the techniques used in modern business documents. The book covers e-mails, memos, a variety of business letters, reports, business proposals, resumes, letters of application and communication skills for oral presentations and interviews. Lectures, examples, assignments, and grammatical challenges are pre-designed for the instructor's use, making this a turn-key system for teaching communication skills.

Finally, a complete text that is always useful. I have read this book over and over... each time learning something new. It's great if you need a complete and extensive description or a quick overview. This book will go from your college backpack to the desk of your new exciting job!

If you are purchasing this book for an online class or your teacher requires you to be able to access the online portion of the book, make sure you have a book with the access code still inside.

If it says "Book Only" or anything similar look for another title.

I used this text for an online class and it was just an exceptional experience. I also had the option of visiting the classroom, which was completely out of the picture once I started turning the pages. The chapters were clear and passages easy to follow. The grammar/mechanics handbook section was really great. I have decided to keep this book as a wonderful reference tool. I find myself using it daily to double check certain things for clarification before mailing. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a refresher course or an improvement tool for business English. This is money well spent and is worth every cent!

Other books to read for relaxation: Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul; Everyday Miracles; and, The Language of Poetry Forms.

Yes indeed this book was/is (I still crack it open)very helpful to me. Before I read this book, or took the class that used this book, I was a very bad speller. My grammer was poor and my writing technique was even worse. If this book helped me I am sure it will help you.

I have found this book very useful and interesting. This book explains everything in plain and clear English. It comes with access code for web resources which are also very helpful. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve communication skills especially writing.

This is one great textbook. It provides many examples of possible solutions to communication issues that you will encounter in life and work. This is well written and easy to understand. It is one of the great textbook that I have used.

I never thought that I could get this textbook for my wife's college class so cheap. It was also the exact edition and everything that she needed. In the past I've had to go with an older edition of my textbooks to get such a low price!

I had to purchase this book for my class at west georgia, and every topic that we covered in class was in the book. I had no problem finding the help that i needed for class in the book. Everything was explained very simply so that anyone could understand.
