[John McLaughlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I used an earlier edition of this book the last time I taught Technical Writing, at East Stroudsburg University ( www.esu.edu ). I do not think it has ever fallen below the gold standard in a technical writing textbook. I recommend not only its excellent organization (Tell them what you're going to tell them: Tell them: Tell them what you told them), but its lively, vivid writing. This textbook goes with my complete five-star recommendation, which it does not need for continued success.
