I used a previous edition of Ms. Munter's book as a text in a graduate course in management communications. The latest edition adds some new subjects and is still one of the best books on the subject. If you could only have one book on this subject this would be a good choice. Even though this book covers a broad base of communication skills (strategy, written, verbal and non-verbal, typography, graphical and prepresentation skills), each subject is covered in considerable depth. This book should be on the office shelf of every manager who needs to communicate effectively.

This book is easy to read and understand. You don't have to run to the dictionary every five words. I recommend it to any interested in communications. The concepts work in all situations, not just business. It was a great help.

This $50 book resembles a pamphlet more than a book. It is a small, softcover book -with very flimsy covers. The price tag is a huge ripoff. Be warned, you will be disappointed with this purchase.

Munter's book is short in length but long on content. I purchased this book as part of an MBA class on Executive Communication, but have found myself referring to it for everything from a quick memo to formal presentations. This would make an excellent gift for new managers or anyone wanting to improve the quality and efficacy of their communication.

I couldn't believe how teeny tiny this book was when it came to my house. I passed the management course I was taking, so I guess this book little book was beneficial, but now I would love to get rid it.

This book was very helpful. Communication is the most important tool people can have, and so many people are so bad at it. This guide gives great tips for how to be a better and effective communicator.

Product is good as a review but not for a primary text. Too vague if you are unfamiliar with the topics.

This is perhaps the most expensive book besides collectables. Judging from the size and amount of information, it probably worths $5 - but I had to buy it simply because the professor uses it as textbook.
Granted that this is a book for business management professionals or to-be's, but this does not mean the book should be this expensive. You'll know what I mean when you see the book. I think they they are taking advantage of that fact that most people buy this book get reimbursed - my self for one will get reimbursement from my company, but I resent the fact that I have to buy such an expensive book and waste my company's money only because I have to. This is robbery - it's not printing book, it's more like printing money.

This book is another example of the ridiculous pricing for school text books. If you are required to purchase this book for MBA School, don't be surprised when you receive it. I guarantee the initial response will be "what - 40+ dollars for this?" The content may be exceptional but the book itself inspires one to ask the question why am I spending this much money for a small paper bound book?

This is a short and concise book . I used it in one of my graduate courses, and found it very helpful.
