Abstract:	'What is special about the text is that it is more than just how to write reports: it gives that extra powerful information that can, and often does, make a difference... The book is comprehensive in its detail 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 John Bowden studied at the London School of Economics. He has enjoyed success both as a professional manager in industry, and as a senior lecturer, and has written several books on communication.
