great buy!

I bought this book for an extension course and it was well worth it!It is just like the original and I even enjoyed solving through some of the excercises in the book.All in all a great book at an affordable price.

This text is a keeper - a valuable reference

After my business communications class ends, I will keep this book as a reference - a great reference for all types of business communications: resumes, memos, emails, letters, formal reports, and presentations. Includes handy sections on confusing words, difficult punctuation, proper formatting, and more. A well written and well organized text.

The book for me

I bought this book used and except for the "quality used book" stickers permanently stuck to it, it is great. It's a 2003 edition that I paid a lot less for than if I'd bought it new and it's helping with the class I needed it for. So all's good!

Superb Business Communication Book!

I would highly recommend this book for anyone going into the business world. It addresses how to communicate with your boss, with your peers, and even how to interview. Scot addresses typical situations like not meeting deadlines, needing more resources on a project, etc... and how to ask for what you need. In communicating with a boss you want him to know things are under control and you can do the job. With a peer you want him on your side as a team player, so you may want to appear helpless. It even shows you the spacing and how to format letters and write memos. I love how this book shows you how to take a weak sentence and make it more direct. I've read many of these types of books but this one addresses all the business communications. Excellent Book!
