5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I ever seen in this field., March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mayfield Handbook of Technical and Scientific Writing (Plastic Comb)

It has been the best company as I have been writing my Master's thesis in the computer science field. Whenever I vacillate about how to write or present something in the proper way, I consult with this amazing manual. The ideal answer is "always" there. It is still expensive, but surely I invested my money in the correct place. Thanks for all who participated to introduce such a marvellous product.

4.0 out of 5 stars A broad based handbook, January 9, 2007

H. Finch (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mayfield Handbook of Technical and Scientific Writing (Plastic Comb)

This Handbook, both in its content and construction, is one of the most effective Technical Writing guides I've found. It is convenient to use, and each covered topic area is easily found. It is broadbased enough so that it generally is the only tech writing reference one needs at hand, and in itself is a fine example of what technical writing is all about.
