A quick, witty, and comprehensive reference guide to grammar and style for the business writer

Library Journal

The founder of Business Writing at Its Best Inc., a traveling writing workshop that includes clients such as UNISYS, Hewlett Packard, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, Agress here provides a framework for good writing in business and law. She argues that "writing is not merely putting words on a page. It is using words that make sense, that express an idea in the clearest possible way." To help writers achieve this aim, she addresses common failings such as poor grammar, the use of jargon, awkward sentences, excess verbiage, pretentious writing, and poor punctuation, clearly presenting each problem and offering possible solutions. Other topics covered include writing a good business proposal, communicating via the Internet, and creating good marketing techniques through well-written sales brochures and letters. Inexpensive, informative, well executed, and enlivened by cartoons, this brief book is a good choice not only for public and academic libraries but for corporate and law libraries as well. Steven J.
