The textbook:
Seller had the book shipped and delivered promptly; the day before I needed it. That was excellent timing considering I ordered it later than I should have.

Technical Communication - Markel:
The book arrived promptly, which was important since another copy from a different web book store never arrived and the fact it was out of stock was not communicated to me in time... I went a week without a book.. Amazon got me the copy that I have in about three days. Very nice. The condition of the book is as good as any college used book I've ever received.. Better than most. I would definitely suggest others buy their texts on Amazon.com. As always, I am a satisfied customer.
8th Edition!!:
When you click to see 'inside', they show you the cover of the 9th edition book. THIS IS NOT THE 9TH EDITION. THIS IS THE 8th!! I unfortunately made this mistake.
Very good text:
Used this book for my English 235 (Technical Writing) class. It was very helpful and walked me through learning Power Point etc. I would get the newer edition because the on-line materials will apply.
