The Writing of Business Bibliography: Useful Books and Journals for Teachers of The Writing of Business

We've intentionally kept the following bibliography short. You've probably noticed already that the text itself has fairly substantial bibliographies for some chapters. Here, we've limited our scope to resources that we've found especially helpful to us as teachers of writing who are entering or are in professional careers.
