Книга даёт очень ценные советы по написанию деловых писем в целом, а не только на английском языке. Подробно разбираются такие моменты, как структура письма, порядок подачи информации, акценты и прочее. Английский добавляет свою специфику, которую автор отдельно разбирает (всё же книга про переписку именно на английском).

Весь материал разбит на тематические главы с примерами и их чуть ли не поабзацным разбором. Я изначально начал читать электронную версию книги, но затем понял, что такую книгу нужно иметь как настольную: это позволит обращаться к ней в нужную минуту и составлять письмо с учётом рекомендаций по конкретной ситуации и тематике. Она может служить своего рода шпаргалкой.

Рекомендую всем, для кого деловая переписка — большая часть работы. Причём стоит купить именно бумажную версию и держать у себя на столе.

While the original title of the book is very on point, I prefer the one the Russian publisher chose —Kind Regards: Business Correspondence in English. It perfectly captures the essence of all those "looking forward to hearing from you"/"best regards"/"to whom it may concern".

Baude's book is a nice guide for writing business e-mails. While I have been doing this for a while, sometimes I feel like something is missing. The book has lots of great examples that you can use. Nevertheless, at some point it gets repetitive, and I got bored of all the "you can do it" motivational parts that felt excessive.

Overall, a nice guide for writing better e-mails that don't annoy your coworkers, partners, and make your boss happy.

Довольно неплохая книга. Но слишком много повторений. Написана на языке шестиклассника.

сподіваюся, тепер моя наукова керівниця буде ще краще розуміти, що я не хамло.

Much more than about emails.
