By Dave
Sooner or later, we're all required to write something. Whether it's an e-mail, a cover letter to a prospective employer or a thank-you note, we need to find just the right words to make a message clear and precise.
As its title declares, The Right Words for Any Occasion by Erika Swanson Geiss is the perfect book for any writing instance. Presented in a style that's friendly, easy to follow and wonderfully thorough, The Right Words is the ideal book to have at your side for a quick reference or a term paper, a job resume or a letter of resignation, a Christmas card or a vacation postcard, a love note or a Dear John letter.
I've had this book for several months now, I refer to it often and share it with others. I can't think of anyone who would not benefit from this book. The Right Words for Any Occasion is so well researched and presented that it could be referenced by beginners or seasoned writers. In any case, it will make you a better communicator - and who doesn't want that?
