Clear and ease to use. Makes you work though.
I have been using the book as a textbook and found it quite complete in its coverage of the English grammar and business correspondence. It is quite concise, since it avoids overbearing the user with annoying extra examples of items already seen, something I found in a couple of other books. I would suggest that the photographs and illustrations be chosen from a wider selection, since they do seem to be mostly of people from a certain ethnic background, and this book is supposed to be used in different areas of the world. This would enhance its "portability." The conversation exercises are quite varied as well, but they do make you work a lot since it contains no audio CD or tape. That might be another suggestion for the future. Overall, very usable and helpful.

Barely Business, no Conversation
The title is comletely misleading. This is a book of grammar exercises. Chapters are entitled Nouns", "Verbs", "Correct Punctuation"- you get the idea. Even the sentences and examples used in the grammar are unrelated to business. The only bow to business is in the last 20 or so pages which are about letter writing, telegrams (!), memos and other business writing forms. As far as I can see, there is no conversation skill practice at all. I gave it two stars because it you want a succint little grammar practice book, it's ok. But go elsewhere for business and/or conversation.

Professional and straightforward
A no-nonsense kind of book with a lot of examples and exercises. Very professional in its presentation and content. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a book that will help you practice the fundamentals of grammar and general usage of the language. Similar Products
