Handbook for Preparing Engineering Documents: From Concept to Completion

"Extremely useful to engineers … a ready reference tool to be kept close at hand … an immense help to engineers who need immediate, specific help on specific points of organizing text in documents they are preparing for publication … a work to be consulted and well thumbed … which will be used again and again by working professionals, and not just placed on a reference shelf."
—Anthony Cotterell, University of Nevada, Reno

"Excellent! Great ideas and suggestions (based on studies). Good advice and good thought processes to use before/during the beginning phases of designing … handy requirements table."
—Ann Christofferson, Professional Technical Writer
