Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Business and reference book author Mary A. DeVries has created an extensive but easy-to-use resource for all types of corporate communications in The Business Writer’s Book of Lists. Comprised entirely of 80 different listings that are designed to be scanned quickly for either general guidance or specific data, it dispenses with irrelevant chatter and gets right to the heart of the matter on key areas including message creation, word choice, and business English. Solid help on such critical matters as arousing reader interest, avoiding jargon and idioms, and spelling compound words correctly is also offered in this logical format. –Howard Rothman
