From the Publisher

Unique in approach, this introduction to technical writing immerses students in a running case study of situations and projects in a fictitious company that is much like an actual potential employer of college graduates. The text offers clear guidelines for all documents, annotated writing models, realistic assignments, and a writing handbook all in one -- allowing students to place themselves into professional roles and to respond to real-world technical problems, even if their own experience is limited. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not timely, September 24, 2005
This book was in poor condition, and was not sent in timely fashion. It was for a class, and the class had been meeting for three weeks before I received the book. I didn't mind the condition so much because it was not the most current edition, but I couldn't use it so late in the semester.
