Elements of Business Writing: A Guide to Writing Clear, Concise Letters, Mem (Elements of Series) Paperback – 25 August 2006

This is quite a nice book. Worth the money

This is a decent guide for business writing, but some of the information isn't applicable today. One of the things I liked is how it provided examples of appropriate vocabulary to use when communicating with different levels of employees. There are also some great examples of how to be more persuasive in your writing and how to organize material to emphasize significant parts. While I would still recommend buying this, it should be a complement to a more up to date business writing guide, not a primary reference.

I purchased this book in order to help me with my writing at work. I am a student of English Literature and it is difficult for me to write without using ``big words``. As I learn to adapt to the corporate world, I have realized that it is standard to be simple and direct rather than formal and enriched. This book is an excellent guide that teaches you how to professionally dumb down your writing skills yet remain eloquent.

This little gem from 1991 is still one of the best books out there for business writers. It is short, sweet, to the point, and utterly practical. A quick read that serves as an excellent refresher every time you begin to feel bogged down in your writing. No wonder it is still in print!

Delivered as expected, recommend the seller

If you feel unsure about your business writing, pick up a copy of this book. It is easy to read and find the information you are looking for. It has a bit of humor in it. If you work with someone who cannot tell an Oxford comma from a comet, then accidentally leave this in their cubicle. I had a thorough English teacher in high school, so the book is full of review for me. However, it is a required textbook for my graduate writing class.
