The Best Book You'll Ever Buy for Clear Technical Writing

I bought my copy brand new ten years ago at the price of $26.95. I thought it was a high price to pay at the time, but after going through the exercises and improving my understanding of how to edit my work it was well worth the amount. I've referred to its guide lines quite often in my work as a technical writer and instructional designer. It is one of the best books to teach someone about minimilist writing. So if you have doubts about the high price, it is well worth the expense. I'm just glad I bought mine when I did.

Great Book, Great Big Price

My first serious contact with technical editing (in particular, line-by-line editing of text) was through this very useful book. Its insights served me well for 20 years. It is probably used in college courses, where such high prices are common, but that doesn't excuse the excessively high price.

A basic reference book for writers

I've been using this book since 1978. It is the best book I've seen for new business or technical writers. As an experienced writer, I refer to it often. It uses many examples of wording in before and after format. I've also used it as a textbook for writing courses.

What does the future hold in store?

This book which has been written by Brogan is extremely excellent in such a way as it leads you to acknowledging poorness in writing style that is technical. It is true to its purposes and is such that it can be taken as of extremely good skill. It is recommended by me that you use for your purposes this book in learning for yourself good style of writing.
