The Pocket Writer's Reference, 2nd edition, is aimed directly at the busy individual who needs a quick check on the conventions of written English for assignments, letters, resumes, and more. While small enough to carry easily in a briefcase or backpack, it is still comprehensive, full of necessary information presented in an interesting, informative, reader-friendly manner. This handy book discusses the full range of rhetorical issues, including audience, purpose, and voice as well as provides guidelines for handling the more technical issues of style, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. An excellent resource for anyone interested in producing effective written communications.
