How to Write in Spanish.......2007-03-12
I found the work to be, in some instances, too advanced for beginning, recreational adult learners. Many of the examples could be modified by a native instructor; but, that is the reason for which I sought examples, since I am a non-native teacher, and consider writing in Spanish one of the most difficult tasks
Straight forward with a couple of examples.......2007-03-11
Maybe I'm used to the colorful images found in school texts and the "Dummies" series, so I didn't like the plain layout of this book. I will probably use it to copy from to practice my writing. I don't like to just read info, I like background info (why its done a certain way). Overall, I find this a usefull book.
How to Write in Spanish: Correspondence Made Easy..........2005-09-01
I think the book delivers on the title How to Write in Spanish: Correspondence Made Easy, From Personal Letters to Business Documents. The book presents many samples of properly constructed/composed personal and business correspondence. Formats for personal and business correspondence include email correspondence and resumes, and there are lists of personal and business stock phrases, something I've found particularly useful as I refer to them often. My only complaint; however, has to do with the stock/standard phrase section. I would like to see the English and Spanish phrases paired where there are similarities. Right now, the phrases from both languages that have equivalent meanings are not lined up. Even with this drawback, the lists are useful.
I don't see the book as being better suited for an intermediate student/user of Spanish. It treats structure and content of correspondence and documents in broad terms. If you need knowledge of specific forms of correspondence and specialized jargon particular to a field, this book isn't the right book for you. If you simply want and/or need to construct basic forms of correspondence, this is a very good reference tool.
Very basic.......2004-08-07
This book has a very basic set up. It does not go into depth with its explanations and it does not have a useful vocabulary. I am a professional interpreter and translator in a law firm, and I wanted my correspondence in Spanish to be as correct as possible. This book is fine for an intermediate student, but is probably not what an advanced student or professional is seeking. I would return it, but it is cheap enough that it is not worth the aggravation of trying to get my money back.
Book Description

Letter Writing Tips for Spanish Writers.......2000-09-10
If you're looking for a reference book that will allow one to write the perfect letter in Spanish, then this 94-page book is for you. Author Mary H. Jackson does an excellent job of providing examples of letters written for personal and business purposes. This book, which is published by the great reference staff at Passport Books, is an inexpensive and useful guide to allow anyone to write letters in Spanish with little or no help at all. Of course, it would be helpful to have knowledge of the Spanish language before writing any letter, however if you're a student or someone who communicates infrequently with a pen pal, friend, or anyone else in Spanish, this book will allow you in your letter writing.
The book's compact size and price are extra reasons to purchase it. I also recommend "Cassell's Colloquial Spanish: A Handbook of Idiomatic Usage" if you want to improve your grammatical knowledge of Spanish. "Cassell's Colloquial Spanish" is the best book on Spanish grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure on the market, and addition with the "Guide to Correspondence in Spanish," I can guarantee that you will be writing like a professional is a matter of time.

Great Reference Guide.......1998-09-18
This book is a great reference guide to writing business correspondence in Spanish. It provides example letters that can be used in developing correspondence which recognizes the cultural differences in the style and structure between letters written in Spanish and English. This book has been very useful in my work of responding to customer billing disputes.
A Spanish-language guide to the art of writing letters........1997-05-17
"Guide to Correspondence in Spanish / Guia de correspondencia espanola" is a very up-to-date and useful guide for writing all kinds of letters in Spanish.
While the title suggests that the book might be completely bilingual, the book is written entirely in Spanish. There is a bilingual glossary included, but the text itself is not translated to English.
This book can be used by anyone with a good knowledge of written Spanish. It provides the fine points of etiquette and proper format for writing both business and personal letters. Best of all, the book includes many sample letters and lists of useful phrases and abbreviations. Each chapter includes practice exercises which make the book potentially useful as a text book
Book Description
Spanish Business Correspondence is a handy reference and learning text for all who use written Spanish. 80 written communications are simply presented covering memos, letters, faxes and resumes. The situations covered include: * arranging meetings * acknowledging orders * enquiring about products * applying for jobs With full English translations, this text is suitable for both students and professionals and can be used for either reference or class use.

Just what I need!.......2004-07-31
This book lists business letters with Italian on one side, and English on the other. The advantage is that the message to potential business partners will be crystal clear, without translation issues. The letters I saw talked about meetings, and shipping of goods. It would be difficult to write these as a beginning speaker. I would buy this book, but no one seems to have one in Italian!

One Of The Best.......2005-06-10
Everyone who is interested in starting a small business will benefit from this book. No exceptions. Especially if you are still in the "just thinking" stage, read this book.
This is no idle recommendation. I work with people every day who are interested in starting a business, and have myself written books designed to help people start a business. And I must admit, this is one of the most down-to-earth, common sense business advice books that I have come across.
Not unlike Paul Hawken's classic Growing a Business, Warner's book is not really a how-to book, but rather is filled with practical advice on how to start and manage a profitable business. Sometimes these ideas go against the grain of what others advise. For example, one of the chapters is Don't Work Long Hours, in which he make the case that if you can't make a profit working reasonable hours, you probably can't make a profit at all.
Some of Warner's other suggestions put new spins on time-worn advice, such as to constantly innovate, develop a competitive edge, and to market creatively. Other ideas are more unusual, such as to sell services not products, to avoid franchises, and as the title notes, drive a modest car.
I have only a few quibbles with this book. One is that I found the endless examples to be, well, nearly endless. Rather than break his advice down to its essence and then follow up with a single example, Warner often uses example after example to make his point. He also frequently changes typeface and layout to highlight examples, but then other times does not. And finally, the title of the book is unfortunate. Although good advice, the real subject of the book is in the subtitle, 16 Other Keys to Small Business Success.
If you seek to break the chains of your oppressive job, you can't go wrong reading this primer first. And don't forget, if you buy this book as part of your business research, its cost is probably tax deductible!
Small things that make a difference.......2005-03-15
Excellent book, covers most of the areas that anyone can get wrong when starting a bussines, and also gives clear examples of good ideas for marketing, managing and why we should always ask why the customers would rather do bussiness with us.
The only thing missing is what the author thinks of partners.
Drive this book home!.......2003-12-10
Drive a Modest Car & 16 Other Keys to Small Business Success is a cold wakeup slap across the face for both existing entrepreneurs and those who are about to venture into their own business. It may shatter your preconceptions of what works and what doesn't work in today's fickle and frugal consumer market.
Nolo Press as advertised puts it all in simple yet defining terms. No theoretical, Wall Street, mumbo jumbo. From both hips you get the straight shot. Like why it's better to be in a service business as opposed to manufacturing or retail. Why you should never buy a franchise and why working hard won't necessarily make a better business. The book doesn't stop with what you should do as a business, but does a thoroughly decent job of how to market your ideas, grow your business and most importantly find joy and satisfaction in what you're doing. Ralph Warner covers the ins and outs in such an easy flowing way that you'll find you have wolfed down chapter after chapter still being able to retain each bite size morsel of great advice with the delicious savor of a five star multi-course dinner.
I would rate this as one of the little gems I've found among the barrage of business books that pretense to have answers to the great questions of how to do business the right way.
Really wonderful.......2002-09-29
I've been self-employed as a IT consultant for about 18 months. This isn't the first business book I've read, nor the one most focused on what I do, and it won't be the one that has the most impact on how I run my business (more industry-specific books did that).
What it DID do was give me a good morale boost. The writer owns the publishing company that makes the book, a successful legal self-help publisher in business 30 years. It reassured me that a lot of the things that seemed like the right thing to do (driving a modest car among them; no more Corvette for me since I went out on my own) were, in fact, sound ideas. It does make sense to focus as much as you can on service because it's the most profitable; this reassured me that my decision only to specify but not to sell hardware and software (let somebody else have the 2% mark-up and spare me collecting tax) was probably the right one.
It also confirmed for me that it's perfectly normal and reasonable for businesses to ramp up slowly at first, and I am indeed building good clients slowly but steadily and it's nice to know from reading what an old hand has to say that I'm not behind the curve because my business hasn't grown explosively.
There were definitely some ideas in there that I have taken away that have made a significant impact on me; I had considered the possibility that at some point I would open a franchise restaurant in a particularly choice, unexploited area with massive traffic volume near where I live, but having read that chapter on franchises I'm absolutely convinced owning a franchise could never be for me. Who becomes an entrepeneur so that they can have their every idea circumscribed by someone elses rules?
I'm not sure this book would really help someone who's been self-employed 30 years like the author has, but for someone green like myself it's make a real impact. I really liked the tone of the book and the author seems emminently likable, honest, and direct. I highly recommend it.
Achieve Success without Burnout.......2002-09-23
I love business books but this is the first one I've found that really links profits, common sense and emotional well-being. It's an engaging and logical step-by-step approach to financial success without burnout. Really worthwhile!!

It's really a very helpful book.
