- Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home
- by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe
- This book should be on your bookshelf alongside "Elements of Style", "The Chicago Manual of Style", and other writing references. The content is compelling and presented conversationally. Netiquette, legal issues, and common sense benchmarks are all covered in an informative, breezy, and self-effacing style. The authors have been there! [Read 4/2007]

- by Peter M. Senge
