I bought this text used for an undergraduate technical communications course. It apparently made no impression on me at all. I don’t remember reading it. There are no highlights or margin notes even though I was not the first owner. But it has followed me around all these years, probably because of my book hording tendencies.

Excellent resource for technical writing. It shows you how to adopt and maintain the appropriate tone and style. It clarifies differences between technical writing and general expository writing, to say nothing of fiction.
