Customer Reviews

Satisfaction

The book was in good condition, but it seemed to take longer than expected to get here. This may just be because I was impatient to get it. Overall I am completely satisfied. The book came just as it was described.

Great Service

I ordered my book on an emergency basis and received it before the next class! Good timing.But their service would be way better if only they had replied to my email asking by when I should receive my book.

Great Service!

The book came in a timely manner and was exactly as the description said it would be. I was satisfied with the entire service.

Technical Communications for a Purpose

I am so impressed with the book. My engineering students are pragmatists - they don't like arbitrary rules and someone else's idea of elegance. But this book shows them how to achieve objectives with written communications - something they really get. Effortless (almost) to read and provided with a number of checklist tools to remind the writer what he seeks to do and the means to do so, no student has indicated that this book was "not relevant". I use my copy often to work the academic decision making regime. A salute to Dr. Anderson!

This is an excellent and comprehensive guide to tech writing

This book is an excellent guide to technical writing. It provides clear, organized recommendations that are supported by research. It provides practical advice for writers in situations ranging from writing reports to reviewing colleagues work to creating web pages and writing email. Although there are 20 chapters, because it's so useful and well-written, it's a pretty quick read. A colleague let me borrow it and I think it's the best book I've found yet on the subject.
