1.0 out of 5 stars How To Communicate Better: Mention That You Need The Book, May 9, 2001

By	"danthesysadmin" (Rockville, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This CD is a companion piece to a BOOK on communicating in business. With the book I am sure it would be quite useful but that is not included with this pricey CD set. Here is a sample of how each track is prefaced:

"Unit 8, Practice 1, Page 68. Listen to a model presentation based on the notes in your book."

This was a randomly chosen example. The track chosen was the second CD, second track.

While I can not adequately judge the quality of the combined CD and book without the book it appears to be a useful set. The set is a fairly basic introduction to professional communications targeted at the newly employed, professionals to whom English is a second language and students.
