Use tips from the novelists? Let my computer measure my results? Sure. So I bought this book with a skeptical eye. Once I tried the business about editing to the five number standards, I thought it felt mechanical. But I stuck with it.And what do you know? I soon began to feel an attitude change. I did write better in the first hour, just as promised.Bottom line, and I should have put this into the top line, if I'd taken the author's advice: This is the best book on writing since the Elements of Style. Don't take my word for it. Use it and see for yourself.

I picked up this book knowing that I could always use improvement in communicating on the job. I was impressed enough with the book that I purchased extra books and handed them out to the managers in my department. Our lab manager is considering using it as a "manual" for the tech report writers. Most "how to" books tend to be stuffy or boring and I tend to nod off half way through. That is not true of this book. I read it the first time and was entertained enough to finish it within a day or two. Even though I was entertained, I still got more out of that book than I have in the three previous 'improvement' books I have read. I then reread it and gained at least as much information the second time around as I did the first. I am in a technical field and most of what is written in my area is dry, boring and filled with jargon and verbose prose that hides the real meaning of what is trying to be presented. This book cuts through that meandering mess and spells out a better way clearly and in a manner that makes it interesting and relatively painless to learn. I would recommend this book to anyone who has to write correspondence of any kind to anyone at any level.
As the author, I gotta recommend it
