Summary: The best business correspondence book around!
Review: I bought this book three years ago and haven't found a better book to teach business writing with. Ms. Bartell covers everything from from from pre-writing to writing long reports. The writing is clear and concise, as good writing should be, and presents old information in new and interesting ways. When I have grammar questions, I look here before I pull out my Strunk and White's, because Ms. Bartell's explantions are more reader friendly. I recommend it to all of my business English students. Not only can this book be used for business writing, it would benefit any student of English writing.

The title of the book is a little misleading. It doesn't deal with other business English topics, such as telephoning, meetings(except for minutes and agendas), negotiations, or social English. But it is The Best Book I've seen on business writing. If I could have given it more than five stars, I would have.
