3.0 out of 5 stars Technical Writing Text, August 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Technical English: Writing, Reading and Speaking (8th Edition) (Paperback)
Aside from the horrible condition of the makeshift cover, all pages were intact and in good condition. The text is useable.

This review is from: Technical English: Writing, Reading and Speaking (8th Edition) (Paperback)
I didn't really use this book much except that some assignments came from the book. I didn't find it to be too helpful with my studying. I used other materials for a better understanding in technical writing.
