Summary: A real time-saver!
Review: In a world where we've almost lost the art of written communication, this book reminds us all how to write a good letter without the use of smiley face icons and 'LOL.' With time constraints pressing on us from all directions, any guide that saves us time is a Godsend, and this book saves hours of thinking time by providing the perfect format, wording, and handling of many different letter situations. This book is especially useful to young people, high school students and college graduates who may not have been schooled in the fine art of letter etiquette, and it's a valuable addition to any home library. The written word, when used well, can open doors. Sandra Lamb provides a key communication tool with this book, and I'm keeping it close by.

Review: This is comprehensive reference tool for all sorts of business and personal situations. If you're a skilled writer or if you feel your writing needs polish, this book provides great guidelines for drafting letters, memos, reports, and resumes. It is especially helpful when you need to write letters for unpleasant situations such as annoucing a divorce, laying off an employee, or to offer condolence.

Summary: Put this book next to your dictionary
Review: This is one of those books that is so incredibly useful and so easy to read, you have to wonder why no one thought to write one like it before now. I got the book to check out the email section, but was literally thunderstruck by all of the other fantastic writing examples and templates. I think this would be a great book to give a graduate, because it has examples for writing many of life's "must-to's", such as thank you notes, condolences, credit inquiries and a lot more. I'm a writer, but even I get "writer's block" sometimes. This book is a real gem.

Summary: Errors
Review: While a great reference, this book has many typographical and gramerical errors. It also is not categorized properly and reiterates the same facts over and over. It does however have great pointers on what to say in a letter. However its view is too simplistic for business writing. I would not suggest this book for a professional opinion. I would suggest it however for a day to day reference on personal letters.
