This review is from: Instant-Answer Guide to Business Writing: An A-Z Source for Today's Business Writer (Paperback)
With its alphabetical system of organizing information on business writing, this is the best desktop tool I've found for quick reference. Next time someone asks you to write an executive summary, don't whimper. Reach for this book. Your lifesaving information will be easy to find: it's under "E." I use it all the time.
