The writing tool that everyone needs!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pbs Write to the Point (Paperback)
I've owned this title for 5 years, and in those five years I have received great commemoration on my writing. Whether it is a report, memo, or a friend letter that must be written, this book will help you write what you want to say. WRITE TO THE POINT is a "must have" text for all students and authors!

The book is not heavy. . . what an excellent start!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pbs Write to the Point (Paperback)
Okay, I haven't actually read the book , but I skimmed it in the book store, and it made me want to look it up here at Amazon. That MUST count for something. The topic is a needed one for this generation. One negative: no pictures.
