I've seen a number of items in the same subject area, as I teach undergrad business writing courses. This one provides the best examples, including some for non-traditional students who didn't do college right away or even in just four years. Consistently, students in my classes say this is the one book they're keeping.

I have used Writing That Works as a required text in an undergraduate business communication course for three years. The book is thorough and well organized with a collection of useful exercises at the end of each chapter. Chapters 1-6 address the writing process, starting with the fundamentals of writing and moving forward to include gathering research and organizing information. Chapters 7 and 8 provide much needed information on visual communication and document design. Chapters 8 and 9 provide an introduction to business communication, and the remainder of the book provides an in-depth look at several specific types of documents including proposals, reports, and instructions.

I took an online refresher course and "Writing That Works" was the required text. It is very contemporary and provides effective suggestions throughout the book. The text supported the instruction and also provided additional effective tips. I have accomplished my refresh and also have new knowledge based on updated materials in the text relating to e-writing and e-communicating. I have applied many of the learning's from this class and the book to my everyday work. The text will be sitting on my office bookshelf and will be used as a primary reference.

This book was a great reference for me when I wanted to write a business proposal, memorandums, and a rhetorical analysis. Great grammar tools in the back as well and easy to follow.

I bought the book as new, but when I received the book was not new. There were lots of highlighting in the book. It took 12 business day for me to get the book. They did not answer my email. It took them three days only to answer my email.

This book was in tip top shape when it was delivered to me. I was very impressed with the quality of the book. It was in mint condition. It was also carefully packaged, which I thought was an added bonus. The book was also shipped in a very timely fashion. I highly recommend purchasing any used book from Amazon.com

This is exactly the book we needed. Having a picture and an exact listing of the book, specifically the year published and the edition helped.

This book is a great reference for doing exactly what the title says," Communicating effectively on the job". We used it as our main text for a business writing class I took and I would never sell this book back after the fact. It's an easy read, clearly explained, and there are several examples as well as a corresponding website. It's the first thing I reach for when I need to write any business correspondence. Good buy.

book is good, however, i met some shipment problem cuz i got this book after 25 days. maybe it is USPS's problem.

This appeared to be a brand new, unused book, although it was sold as "almost like new". Great quality, and quick service.
