Business English: A Practice Book

A groundbreaking early 20th-century manual that treats business communication as a skill demanding the same rigor as any literary pursuit. Rose Buhlig argues that Business English extends far beyond letter writing to encompass every spoken and written exchange in commercial life: the sales pitch, the customer service call, the internal memo. She insists that mastering grammar, punctuation, and clarity is not pedantry but professional power. The book proceeds methodically through word usage, pronunciation, and grammatical principles, showing readers how to wield language with precision in an era when clear business correspondence could make or break a deal. Though written over a century ago, its core insight remains vital: that how we communicate is inseparable from who we become in our professional lives. For anyone curious about the foundations of modern business communication or seeking timeless wisdom on writing with authority and clarity.
