This booklet reprints a speech the author has given several times on new technology and its impact on technical writers or “communicators of technical information.”

Retrievability is a major advantage of the Pocketbook. Instead of a traditional table of contents, it contains a topical key to the text to help the reader find specific information. Major divisions, such as “Grammar,” “Punctuation,” and “Mechanics,” make finding information simple.

Writing for Industry serves as both a workbook and a textbook for those with little background in writing. The format makes the book easy to use as a textbook; it contains informative text, good examples and exercises, and reinforcement for the student. The author clearly states the information, and her examples demonstrate her major points.
