This is an excellent book - it provides an excellent framework and guidance withoout being too prescriptive. It also reminds us of a few basic truths about communication - clarity, purpose and courtesy.
I belong to a writing circle, and I was struggling with my grammar and punctuation until I bought this book. I was confused when using certain words, to which context they belonged
It is well written and easy to understand. The book is well designed. The texture of the paper is pleasant an bright. Th print size is readable not to small, this is important to me, as I am a Senior citizen and my eye site is not as good as it should be. I congratulate the Author for the success in writing it .
All of these Ranges of Book a very helpfull if you want to improve your English, I think of any Book that are more helpful than any reference book that you will purchase.
This book crams a lot into its relatively few pages by focusing on key concepts and following its own advice on presentation.
It covers a range of needs from CVs, email and letters to presentations (my interest area).
I found the whole approach on narrative style vs. others; reasons why we communicate and the easy guide to structuring material. As one who is involved in training this has added a lot to my repertoire of material.
