Business Communication Guides

September is Be Kind to Editors and Writers Month. With that in mind, I will spend part of the month catching up on books. I don’t review products as often as some of you would like, but from time to time, I run across a really useful product. Syntaxis Press offers an elegantly packaged four book set about basic business communication that I like.

• Presentation Skills for Business Professionals
• A Writing Guide for Business Professionals
• A Grammar Guide for Business Professionals
• E-Mail Etiquette for Business Professionals

Like you, I do a lot of my research online these days, but sometimes it’s just easier to reach for a book. And, these are books I actually read and use. The books represent the years of experience in consulting and teaching about business communication that Ellen Jovin and Brandt Johnson have spent.

The strength of the books is that they don’t try to tell you everything about the English language – just the most important items that you are likely to encounter in your daily communication. The books are easy-to-use, easy to follow, and organized for easy access to the material.

As a former English teacher – please, let’s not go that far back – I have relied for years on Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style. Now, I have a second set of business communication basics and reminders sitting on the same shelf. (Available at Amazon.com and from the authors’ Web site.)
