4.0 out of 5 stars A quick, excellent short course on effective writing., November 3, 1999

By A Customer

I came across this book by accident when my boss left to take another position; he'll never see this little gem again! The authors have very effectively laid out the elements that make business writing, readable, understandable, and ultimately effective. They present several aspects of style, explain them, justify them, give good examples, and conclude with exercises to help the reader learn them.

I am just an accountant, and am certainly no aspiring novelist; this book was written right at my level and improved my writing significantly. By no means will this book turn anyone into a publisher or editor, but it can help any average person become an effective writer in the every day business world, which is precisely what it was designed to do.
