The Encyclopedia of Business Letters, Fax Memos, and E-Mail.......2001-04-22
Exceptional Book, full credit to the Author, this is the best book I have come across, I will recommend this to everyday Jo bloggs user like myself who were struggling to right decent letters.
Little guidance.......2001-04-13
This was very basic and had few examples to choose from when trying to form a letter. What little guidance received was common knowledge. This is best suited for high school students.
This Is An Indispensable Business Writing Guide!.......1999-09-13
The use of Internet technology has made the effective communication of thoughts and ideas in a variety of formats and styles possible. Good Website design alone, however, does not assure that one's intended business message will get across as well as planned and hoped for. Good writing and presentation skills are also important factors to consider in the overall communication process.
Robert Bly has written The Encyclopedia of Business Letters, Fax Memos, and E-Mail to assist people to create a variety of important business correspondence that can be put to use in the office and online. Bly, the author of The Copywriter's Handbook, offers his readers some quick solutions to meeting many practical business correspondence needs. He provides plenty of samples throughout the book that cover a broad range of business needs, including correspondence with colleagues, vendors, employees and employers, customers, handling complaints and requests, making collections, and producing sales and direct marketing letters.
Readers will be impressed with the ease with which they can learn to create their own business letters. Following the guiding principles, samples, and instruction in this book will result in generating favorable responses in making sales, marketing products and services, issuing warnings for poor worker performance, making the firing of people much easier to accomplish (gulp!), terminating services, apologizing for poor performance, and many other tough real-life circumstances they are likely to face in the business world someday!
Bly offers some very helpful tips on customizing letters to meet specific circumstances such as time-sensitive communications, varying message tone, generating favorable responses with creative wording, and preparing correspondence intended for faxing and e-mailing. Bly cautions his readers by reminding them that once someone sends an electronic communication there may be no way to stop it from reaching its destination. Watch your words and emotions!
Readers will learn how to produce many top-notch communications for any purpose, including office correspondence, faxes, e-mail, newsgroups, and Website design use. This book will assist business people of all levels of experience to get any message across much easier with more confidence! This is an indispensable business writing guide. Look good in print and online! Highly recommended for novice business owners!

Customer Reviews:
Get Writing With Get to the Point.......2007-03-15
Get to the Point provides a wonderful, practical, and useful guide to writing. I recommend it highly.
Don't bother with it.......2006-02-12
Elizabeth Danziger in her book Get to the Point attempts to offer readers a game plan to reduce stress and anxiety in an effort to write more effective memos, letters, and e-mails. Danziger is the fonder of WorkTalk, an organization dedicated to improving the communication of individuals and organizations, & she has written for popular magazines such as: Readers Digest and Family Circle. In this book, Danziger offers solid advice on how to deal with writer's block, & in some chapters, she gives visual checklists to help guide readers in the writing process.
However, readers will find the book unfocused; for example, in Chapter2 entitled: Planning your Writing, she has too many headings & subheading; one heading is: Analyze your reader before you start, which is about a half a page, then on the next page, she talks about how to connect with your reader using a 3 level formula. Yet, no where in the 3 level formula does she go into any detail, then jumps to a topic called "hot buttons" in which she offers little examples of how to determine the "hot buttons" of the writer's audience.
In addition to the lack of focus, you will find that the book is poorly organized. Some chapters have visual examples, and others do not. Chapter 6, Choose words Wisely, Chapter 7, Help for the Grammar Phobic, & Chapter 8 Mark my Punctuation should have all been combined as they deal with many of the same topics.
All in all, Danziger's book is a good example of a person that might be able to write magazine articles but does not have the ability to write a book. It's ironic that on the back of the book cover it says, "Get to the point! Is the only writing book you'll ever need" and I am saying this is the only book you should run from don't waste your money on this.

Customer Reviews:
The Bible of Business Letters.......2004-01-22
I refer to this book all the time. The author has obviously had much experience working in the corporate world. The situations are quite common and the letter-writing style is terrific. In each case, the issue is handled in a well-organized and non-threatening manner. I have used many of the letters almost verbatim, and I have always gotten the response that I want.
Worst Letter Writing Book Ever!.......2003-01-24
One would have to be smoking crack to think any of these letters would be appropriate or helpful in the situations described - not to mention the ludicrous reasoning behind the letters in the first place. I have to say a few of them had be on the floor in fits of laughter. I began to wonder if this is really a humor book.
The book of all books.......2000-08-30
This book is so easy to use, it works..... it's my bible. Thank you for writing such a helpful book.
Should be call "100 Most Unusual Letters".......2000-06-22
I thought the book dealt with letters that were so "out of the ordinary" that it would be a rare occasion that you would actually need to send one of these.
Congratulation letter.......2000-03-04
His esteemed prime minister
First, I would like to congratulate you for your promotion in the Royal court.
We wish you a very bright future.

The etiquette rulebook was born 4,200 years ago, when Ptah Hotep prescribed proper behavior to ancient Egyptians. Netiquette, however, is a relatively new field. In E-Mail Etiquette, Samantha Miller sheds light on the dos and don'ts of attachments, mass mailings, personal and business e-correspondence, e-mail hoaxes, viruses, spam, and e-mail privacy. "E-mail should be the most polite form of communication ever invented," says Miller, the Internet manners expert for People magazine. Then why is so much of it so irksome? Miller's contributors complain about useless subject heads, unattached attachments, and those chain letters usually sent by one's mother. Miller herself weighs in on SHOUTING, signature lines, and emoticons. On-the-job e-mailers are advised never to write anything in e-mail "you wouldn't want to see tacked to the office refrigerator." Joke senders are counseled to "think of e-mail as a cocktail party.... You don't plant yourself in front of a group of partiers and tell jokes until they flee." Who wouldn't benefit from discussions about why spelling matters and when it's appropriate to e-mail a thank-you note? --Jane Steinberg

Helpful and readable.......2002-12-18
Business Writing Makeovers should be useful to business people, teachers of writing, and anyone who wants to write better. It is also fun to read: I enjoyed the letters in which a company official complains to a supplier that the huge ice sculpture ordered for a sales conference had been set up so it melted onto an electrical unit, causing a short circuit that ruined the conference's most important presentation. Roddick's sample letters and emails show ways to make your writing more precise, concise, correct, and graceful. They will help you choose the right tone to adopt in a letter, the right details to include, and the right structure to convey information and ideas. I found good suggestions here for writing with greater tact, better grammar, and stronger impact. Roddick's own writing is elegant and clear--an excellent example for her readers.
Writing Right.......2002-10-31
Business Writing Makeovers by Hawley Roddick is a tremendously useful book. It is full of excellent information and advice that would benefit both business and non-business writers. Roddick's use of before and after letters, memos, reports, etc. is a practical and effective way to make important points. The concise checklists that follow are valuable aids. And joy of joys, the examples of writing deal with varied subjects and issues that are interesting, informative, and entertaining to read about! I highly recommend Business Writing Makeovers to anyone who wants to be the best communicator he or she can be.
Everybody's business.......2002-10-19
The book covers so many occasions for communication, in and out of what is strictly business, that it is a useful guide to writing in general. It warns of pitfalls and recommends ways around them, but what I found most engaging were the transformations from Original to Makeover, the details and stories coming into focus: the "demotion" story, for instance, or the "retirement" details. Besides its practical purposes, the book discovers the inner workings of many business activities, and it is indeed enlivened by the novelist's invention.
