- Jonathan Price in Technical Communication, February 2004
- … just as Edward Tufte's books show a passion for truth in statistical charts, Haile's analyses and prescriptions demonstrate how much he cares about clearing away the clutter that stands between readers and the underlying science.
- Anonymous Reviewer for Writer's Digest, March 2003
- This book could very well become the leader and expert choice for the style. It is very concise and detailed. This is a must have book for technical writers.

- Technical Writing Instructor 1
- Haile has done something that has long needed to be done—to extract the most useful insights from some of the leading style manuals and to apply them to technical writing.

- I enjoyed reading Technical Style—[Haile is] a clear and precise writer.
- Technical Writing Instructor 2
- [Technical Style's] most salient characteristic features … are its unusually readable style and its coverage of equations. The former is rare in current style manuals and the latter, as far as I know, absolutely non-existent.
- Engineering Graduate Student 2
- exceptionally well written and useful … I read it with pleasure
