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".

THIS BOOK WILL BE A LONG TERM HELP IN ME WRITING MY FUTURE PAPERS FOR MY UPCOMING CLASSES AS WELL AS IN MY CAREER.

Reading this book I realized that I shouldn't have pay for my English business writing course, because the book helped me more than my teacher. The book explain very well and give you great advice how to write a business letter or even an e-mail. It is a good resource to improve your writting abilities.

Explicit Business Writing - Best Practices for the Twenty-First Century by R. Craig Hogan, Ph.D is a very good, but not great writing guide. The book does contain very specific and useful information to anybody in business who ever has to write a report, memo, or e-mail. I've already used some of their recommendations to make my writing on the job more clear and avoid any ambiguities.

Ultimately, the book is almost too focused for its own good - long on specific examples on how to make your writing 100 percent clear, but short on style advice. This book honors the writing guide genre while not transcending it. Overall, it is worth the purchase price, but should be used in conjunction with additional business writing books, such as "Plain English at Work".

I have never seen like this book. This is great for international students who study for business in the US. It teaches you how to write business letters. Do not think. Just byu it. It is not expensive
