Still the best book on technical report writing

Even after 30 years, this book is still the best book on technical report writing I have found. It contains techniques that I have seen nowhere else and that are consistent with everything I know about organizational and scientific communications (in which I have a graduate degree). It is NOT a book on technical report writing written by typical English professors with degrees in literature who believe that writing in the tradition of the Humanities is the only tradition of writing that matters. Technical and scientific writing are distinct from writing in the Humanities, and Mathes and Stevensen are well aware of the differences. Their advice is based as much on research into how reports are used as it is on traditional written communication strategies.

Teacher & Engineer

Although I give it 4 stars, I would recommend to buy this if the price is only $1 or $2. It is wrothy considering its cheap price for the used book.

A Bible for Technical Writers and All Business People

This is an advanced text for all the business people who have to write documents as a part of their jobs. It presents a systematic procedure for designing reports for diverse readers. The method can be applied to all formats from short memos through formal reports.
