Media Reviews
'What is special about the text is that it is more than just how to 'write reports'; it gives that extra really powerful information that can, and often does, make a difference... The book is comprehensive in its details and contents, covering type style, fonts, writing style and even advice on bindings and illustrations. It is by far the most informative text covering report writing that I have seen.' Training Journal
