What Readers Are Saying About
Technical Style
- It's terrific. Will use it in classes.
- Professor of Engineering, University of Illinois at Chicago
- … 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.
- Jonathan Price in Technical Communication, February 2004
- 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.
- Anonymous Reviewer for Writer's Digest, March 2003
- This is an excellent book that can serve as your lesson plan for self-study.
- Review in Chemical Engineering Progress, June 2002
- As one who has struggled for over 50 years with writing, I have collected several books on writing style and doubted at first whether a new book could offer anything new or useful. I am delighted to say that my doubts have been washed away—I am a believer. The book is clear, imaginative, precise… Every chapter had something that will be helpful in the daily struggle.
- Professor of Engineering, University of California at Davis
- [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.

- 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.
- Another Instructor of Technical Writing, College of Engineering, University of Virginia
- … exceptionally well-written and useful … I read it with pleasure.
