5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for Writing in the Real World

I bought this old edition for my Technical Writing class in 2016. This honestly might be one of the most helpful textbooks I have ever read. The information is applicable and significantly improved my writing process and final writing products. Some of the information is outdated (web page design), but that is to be expected since it is the 11th edition. I will probably purchase the 14th edition for personal reference.

WARNING: the 12th edition is a completely different book. Take this into consideration if you are required to use the 12th edition for your college course. Needless to say, this book is OK, I just could not use it.

I used this book as a text book. It was pretty good for giving examples of how to write many different technical type documents as well as guidelines for where to begin brainstorming, outlining, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay but out of date info
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016
Verified Purchase
This was a required text for school. The writing was decent, but a lot of the information was outdated. For example, the text claimed that .org sites were only for non-profits and a tilde in the url is how you tell if a site is a personal one. The org designation was never enforced, so anyone can purchase an org domain. Thanks to affordable domain registrations and hosting, anyone can get a personal site with a "normal" url. There were other similar instances where the data was out of date, even though the publisher keeps putting out "new" editions.

It was assigned to us in class, but definitely a keeper... if you're going to technical fields, such as health, engineering and office work, this is definitely a good thing to have nearby...

The guys I bought it through promised and delivered... overall a great experience
