Industry Reviews
"This is an extraordinary book. A reference so comprehensive, yet so simple. . . . Every person who isn't living in a cave should have this by their elbow on a daily basis."
--Richard Nelson Bolles, author of What Color Is Your Parachute?

"To express the principles of etiquette--respect, consideration, and honesty--is to apply sincerity and tact as naturally and spontaneously as possible. How to Write It shows exactly how to do just that."
