Reviews

"This book judiciously balances between the comprehensive textbook and the cursory pocket guide. It practices what it preaches and maintains consistent focus on the challenge of writing for readers who don't want to read. Highly recommended."--Donald R. Riccomini, Santa Clara University, in Technical Communication, Volume 58, No. 1

"Effective, concise, and thorough."--Elizabeth Childs, Auburn University

"Well written and designed."--Kendall Kelly, Texas State University, San Marcos

"The examples mirror what I am teaching, especially in terms of document design, content, organization, concision, and clarity."--Richie Crider, University of Maryland
