I was around then and may have been one to suggest this book. But I found I just couldn't read it again and it seemed that others didn't respond to it quite the way I had. In spite of the length of time which has transpired since I did read it (25 +/- years), I remember Ignatius' business letter writing vividly, and in fact think of it almost every time I have to write a letter to someone I dislike - the notion of using the words you'd LIKE to use and not the ones you SHOULD use is very alluring.
