5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic Tool!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Franklin Covey Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication (Paperback)
I recently purchased the Franklin Covey Style Guide as one of the text books for a class I was taking. I had never heard of this book and I can't figure out why! Anyone that EVER writes any business communications or does presentations should have a copy of the Style Guide on their desk! This book has it all...sample documents and letters, examples of graphics, you name it. I am so excited about this book that I couldn't wait to tell my peers at work about it. You can bet there will always be a copy on my desk. As a member of Toastmasters I know that effective speeches have to be well written before they can be delivered. This book has great tips for writing effectivly...whether it is a technical document, a memo, or a speech. If you want people to start noticing your documents, buy this guide. It can improve your writing skills so that you are ready for that promotion, and the section on resumes can help you get the job! The guide is easy to use, organized in alphabetical order, and includes lots of examples. The thing I like the best is that each section has a summary on the first page, highlighting the key points of the section. I also appreacite the bias-free language. If you do any writing at all, you can't afford NOT to buy this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great desktop reference for Technical Writers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Franklin Covey Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication (Paperback)
This is a great reference tool for anyone starting out in the technical communications field! This book is very user friendly. It's apparent once you start flipping through the pages. All the topics, such as, "Editing and Proofreading," "Page Layout," and "Word Problems," are organized in alphabetical order and printed on the outside edge of the page's header in large easy-to-read font. I also appreciate the way each topic has the keypoints summarized at the beginning with numbers that corresponds to an in-depth discussion of the keypoints. The enclosed CD-ROM was also a great addition to this book. This book is a worthwhile investment!

This Style Guide Has Everything!,
By "mj_whit" (Escondido, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franklin Covey Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication (Paperback)
This book tells you how to do everything! It can be used by both students and professionals. This book has everything from how to properly use a comma to writing bibliographies; from how to use photographs in presentations and documents to writing resumes. This guide gives you hints on how to manage meetings effectively. I use this book at both work and home. People come to me to borrow this fantasic book constantly. I have the CD installed on my computer and love using the program - it is very user-friendly. I don't think any student or office should be without this wonderful tool.
