5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Tool!, July 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Franklin Covey Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication (Paperback)
I recently purchased the Franklin Covey Style Guide as one of the text books for a class I was taking. I had never heard of this book and I can't figure out why! Anyone that EVER writes any business communications or does presentations should have a copy of the Style Guide on their desk! This book has it all...sample documents and letters, examples of graphics, you name it. I am so excited about this book that I couldn't wait to tell my peers at work about it. You can bet there will always be a copy on my desk. As a member of Toastmasters I know that effective speeches have to be well written before they can be delivered. This book has great tips for writing effectivly...whether it is a technical document, a memo, or a speech. If you want people to start noticing your documents, buy this guide. It can improve your writing skills so that you are ready for that promotion, and the section on resumes can help you get the job! The guide is easy to use, organized in alphabetical order, and includes lots of examples. The thing I like the best is that each section has a summary on the first page, highlighting the key points of the section. I also appreacite the bias-free language. If you do any writing at all, you can't afford NOT to buy this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great desktop reference for Technical Writers, November 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Franklin Covey Style Guide for Business and Technical Communication (Paperback)
This is a great reference tool for anyone starting out in the technical communications field! This book is very user friendly. It's apparent once you start flipping through the pages. All the topics, such as, "Editing and Proofreading," "Page Layout," and "Word Problems," are organized in alphabetical order and printed on the outside edge of the page's header in large easy-to-read font. I also appreciate the way each topic has the keypoints summarized at the beginning with numbers that corresponds to an in-depth discussion of the keypoints. The enclosed CD-ROM was also a great addition to this book. This book is a worthwhile investment!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on the 4th edition!, October 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is only for the Fourth Edition, which I thought would be an updated version of this excellent style guide. I figured that if nine or so years have passed, there should be plenty of new and revised information.

But as soon as I thumbed through the book and noticed that the entry on e-mail was still titled "Electronic Mail" (who in this day and age still calls e-mail "electronic mail"??), I realized that there was pretty much nothing new about this book.

In fact, if you glance down at the page footers, you'll see that they haven't even bothered to change the copyright information - it still says "(C)1985-1999"!

The only change I could discern was an updated Preface.

This was a huge disappointment, as I was really looking forward to a new edition of this book.

I say, go buy a good used copy of the Third Edition!
