Pretty helpful

Finkelstein does an alright job with this book. It includes a lot of examples to base your paper off of. It shows you business letters, proposals, technical mechinism reports. tech process reports, technical diffinitions, progress reports, resume stuff, formal letters, memos, etc. It was required for my technical communications class for engineers. It's definately something to keep on the shelf for reference.
