Send (Abridged): The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home Audiobook

" Having come somewhat late to email, I thought I would make sure I am up to date on email protocol. "

" Excellent book on e-mail etiquette with really good examples. "

" One of those advice books where I didn't really learn anything new, but sometimes those are the best kind. They act, instead, as reassurance. Very succinct and practical, with plenty of vivid examples. "

" A quick and relatively enjoyable read. Mostly common-sense ideas, but amusingly presented, and we can all use a few reminders of common sense when it comes to e-mail. It's a nice touch that the authors sometimes use their own e-mails to demonstrate how things can go wrong; keeps the tone from being too preachy or prescriptive. "

" I have bought this book for most of my staff. Much seems like common sense, yet so many seem to forget. "

" This book came recommended from some colleagues, but I think it was mostly a waste of time. Was there good information in it? Yes. Was it thrice as long as it needed to be? Yes. "

" This book was full of "well, duh!" moments, but at the same time I found it all satisfyingly vindicating. So, yeah, I enjoyed it. "

" This is a well written and pragramatic look at email and how to use it efficiently and effectively. Many of us, who have lived with email since its inception tend to use it in effective ways. Here Shipley does a good job of describing best practices for using email in our daily lives. "

" Self help book on how to communicate more effectively with email. It delivered what I was expecting. "

" Made me think more seriously about electronic mail, encouraged more critical approach and less laissez faire attitude-- which was an especially good thing with specific regard to my professional e-conduct. "

" funnier than it sounds "

" A bit basic - was expecting more "

" Not to capitalize,it means you are screaming. And who hasn't? "

" Read for work. A bit dated, but good content, especially the etiquette considerations for those of us who have to send 800 emails every day. "

" a few good points. but mostly, a waste of time. "

" a nice book can be summarised in 30 page. "

" Required reading for all email users "

" Handy and practical guide to email--especially useful in the business context. "

" I got a series of emails today without any subject line and was once again reminded of the necessity of this book. Take it as a given that you don't email as well as you think. "

" Nothing beyond the usual, nothing new for anyone who's given the subject any thought. That's not to say that most people follow the guidelines in the book. "

" Great practical advise on email! "

" A must-read book on improving your business communication skills. "

" I think anyone who uses e-mail should read this book, especially people who use it a lot at work. Discusses e-mail etiquette, and what not to do. I never finished this but it is a good primer, especially for those in a first job. "

" replete with memorable quotes and lots of common sense that any person wih an iota of street smarts would already know. the prose is witty, though, and it's easy to read. i read it for work, not of my own volition. "

" A good mix of thoughtful and pragmatic, definitely of interest to anyone who's interested in how electronic mail shapes our forms of communication for better or worse. The sections on sarcasm and passive-aggressive emails (and why they're so dangerous) were especially interesting to me. "

" I got a series of emails today without any subject line and was once again reminded of the necessity of this book. Take it as a given that you don't email as well as you think. "

" If you use email for work, this is a wonderful guide to help you avoid sending confusing, infuriating, annoying and just plain bad email. Heck, if you just use email to communicate with anyone, this book is well worth the cost. "

" An essential read for those who wish to write emails with purpose and grace. "

" I read this book in one night; it’s that good. Not only was it fun and interesting (plenty of fun trivia sidebars), but it was inspiring—I’m teaching the information to my students tomorrow. This is genre theory at its best: essential, untaught and adaptive to technology. "

" Fabulous!!! <br/> <br/>If you think about topics like this in general, then it's a fun romp through ideas you've already played with. <br/> <br/>If you haven't thought about this kind of topic much before, it's quite eye-opening. <br/> <br/>Enjoy :-) "

" This was required reading in our office. I digested in virtually one big gulp- it's fun, but also gives you tidbits to think about before you burn bridges when you send an email. "

" Kinda boring. And I guess email's just not that interesting. "

" Nothing beyond the usual, nothing new for anyone who's given the subject any thought. That's not to say that most people follow the guidelines in the book. "

" I lost over 50 e-mails in less than two weeks after reading this book! I've never felt better or had more energy! "

" Excellent book on e-mail etiquette with really good examples. "
