Product Description


Now in its eighth edition, this classic book remains the complete technical-writing reference for students and professionals alike. Alphabetically organized and easy to use, its nearly 400 entries provide guidance for the most common types of professional documents and correspondence, including reports, proposals, manuals, memos, and white papers. Abundant sample documents and visuals throughout the book demonstrate effective technical communication, reflecting current practices for formatting documents and using e-mail. In addition, advice on organizing, researching, writing, and revising complements thorough treatment of grammar, usage, style, and punctuation to provide comprehensive help with writing skills. This edition has been thoroughly revised to include expanded advice for analyzing the context of different writing situations, using and integrating visuals, and dealing with ethical concerns in technical writing. Improved coverage of research now includes guidelines for IEEE-style documentation as well as clearer explanations of copyright and plagiarism concerns. Entries throughout the book have been revised, updated, consolidated, and streamlined to provide the most accurate and accessible information. Comprehensive yet concise, the Handbook of Technical Writing remains the quick reference faithful users have come to appreciate.

Users Product Reviews:

Product Review Summary: Great handbook

I largely appreciate the layout of this handbook - everything is alphabetized for quick reference! Provides excellent examples of format and design. This is one of the few college textbooks I actually intend to keep!

Product Review Summary: Excellent condition, Slow Delivery

The book came to me in great condition, because I ordered it new, but it took a few weeks to get to my book. Within the last two weeks it was scheduled to come in, which was a bit of a problem.

Product Review Summary: great price easy transaction

Everything about this item was just as posted. Price was great. The shipping speed could use some improvement, espcially with all the options that USPS offers for shipping.

Product Review Summary: Handbook of Technical Writing, 9th Ed. Review

This product was exactly how the description was and was delivered in a timely manner.

Product Review Summary: Best Writing Handbook I Have Ever Seen

I have many writing handbooks (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style). This book is by far the best. It has a lot of very useful information, and the information is easy to find. For technical writing, it is the best I have seen. It may be a little too technical for creative writers or journalists.
