Customer Reviews

Best book on business communication

This book covers it all -- speaking, writing, email, briefing and web pages. Best book I've seen on these subjects. Bailey walks the talk. His book is easy to read, and the principles are illustrated clearly. What I like best are the examples.

Almost perfect

Edward Bailey commands the field of "plain English" applied to business writing. This is a complete, modern--and highly readable--summary of everything you need to know about writing memo's letters and resumes and doing oral presentations. It lacks a section on e-mail. The resume and cover letter sections use examples which may not match for all industries, and the letter format (showing "Writer/typist") is outdated in the Internet Age.
