REVIEWS
My perspective on business writing was transformed by this book. It remains a book to inspire.
Sophie Devonshire, Global CEO, The Marketing Society
As the old saying goes, ‘it’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future but I’m not at all surprised that the casual remark I made 21 years ago about ‘We, me, them & it’ becoming a cult classic has proved to be accurate. Our relationship with words has intensified in the years since it was published. Social media and mobile technology have warped their valency in ways we could never have imagined. If ever we needed a guide to thinking clearly about the words we use – a steadying hand on our linguistic shoulder – it is now, and this is still the best book for the job.
John Mitchinson, the original publisher of the book, founder of Unbound and Backlisted podcast
I don’t think a finer book has been written on the power of words to change your business.
