Great book!,

This review is from: Explicit Business Writing: Best Practices for the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)
I found this book comprehensive. It improves your writing step by step. R.Craig practises what is preached in the book. The way the book is organised and styled is exactly what the essence of the book is. So there are 296 pages of examples for anyone who is keen and serious about following.
The tone and pace is moderate, and R.Craig does not oversimplify that explicit business writing is something where you could just read a few pages of examples. R.Craig stresses the need to be perseverance. There is a small section on the use of grammar and punctuation. As the book is focused on explicit business writing, R.Craig has just done that, being focus on the key term "explicit business writing".
