Customer Reviews

In Good Condition

On receiving my purchase, I was very pleased to see that the book was in great shape. The seller had informed me of all to expect with this certain book, and everything he/she said was true; nothing more, nothing less.

A solid textbook for learning technical communications

If I had to learn technical writing all over again, this would be the book I would choose. It is a relevant, clear, and comprehensive guide to technical writing processes, skills and practices. It includes numerous examples and exercises in each chapter. The discussions of ethical considerations and communicating with international audiences that appear throughout the text are important topics that are not often covered in other books. The broad range of document types and industries presented in the examples offer a good sense of the range of technical writing career opportunities. This book won't give you everything you need to know as a technical writer, but it will give you a good foundation.
