A textbook that explains the nature of the trade, correspondence, visual appeal, electronic communication, technical applications, report strategies, and the basics of writing the English language. No dates are mentioned for the earlier editions, but for the third, Sharon (DeVry Institute of Technology) and Steven (Johnson County Community College) have reorganized the material, updated it to reflect the growing impact of electronic technology, and added a companion web site. -- Copyright © 2000 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved
