Editorial Reviews

Review

The coverage of writing strategies is thorough and practical. There is something for everyone - fundamental strategies for the beginning writer and advanced strategies for the more highly skilled students.

Internet and e-mail assignments keep the textbook up to date an allow students to combine skills in communication building with the latest in business issues and technology. The writing and research projects are helpful in developing these skills in students.

The frequent use of examples is great. They really help students understand the techniques, particularly with traditionally students who have had little or not exposure to business writing.

Dr. Guffey's resources for students and staff are crucial and very well done. I have never in my 19 years of teaching ever found an author so willing to create teaching materials that help us do our job. The Guffey resources are one of the many reasons we consistently use her materials on this campus. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Guide to Business Writing, April 2, 2000
This book is an excellent tool for writing, especially for the non-native English writer. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a study guide with many examples that have been updated for the current business environment. The numerous samples and the grammar review are very helpful for studying the fundamentals. This book is extremely relevant in a business world crowded with a cornucopia of poor writing, misspelling, and incorrect grammar usage. My heartfelt thanks to Ms. Guffey for writing such an excellent guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Text for Learning Communication Skills, January 3, 2007
By N. Bruce (Tacoma, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am an instructor for a local college. I selected the Essntials of Business Communication as the textbook for my Business Communications course after working with it in a previous class. It is the best organized text I have found with step by step instructions for students to readily grasp the techniques used in modern business documents. The book covers e-mails, memos, a variety of business letters, reports, business proposals, resumes, letters of application and communication skills for oral presentations and interviews. Lectures, examples, assignments, and grammatical challenges are pre-designed for the instructor's use, making this a turn-key system for teaching communication skills.

Finally, a complete text that is always useful. I have read this book over and over... each time learning something new. It's great if you need a complete and extensive description or a quick overview. This book will go from your college backpack to the desk of your new exciting job!
