Review title: Terribly wordy - lots of deadwood
Product review: Sorry - I would not recommend this book to a TECHNICAL writer.This book has 559 pages and could be cut down to maybe 100 pages of useful information. Each chapter has a full page explaining the chapter... if you have to do that, you haven't planned and written the chapter well. A good product sells itself.It takes the author 5 pages in the preface to explain the book! It also has a lot of side head paragraphs explaining more... explaining the explanations. This book was painful reading for me... I kept thinking "bla bla bla bla bla"This book seems to have a lot of the author's opinions and theory, but not very much practical information.
