There are so many things I love about this book. It is loaded with helpful and thought-provoking information, and it’s a pay-it-forward gift (so-to-speak) from someone who’s paved the path to success with lessons and advice she’s learned along her journey.

Some of the many jewels I found in this book are the cover letter examples, writing exercises, and mistakes to avoid. These are incredibly helpful and memorable. The Glossary and Index are also helpful in navigating this info-loaded handbook.

One of the pros of this book is also a con (in my opinion.) There is so much information with very little white space on the pages. So much wordage can be overwhelming. I wish there were more illustrations or breaks on the page. This might not be important to other readers and writers, but it helps me tremendously. I like having a stopping point or a section of rest where I can reflect on what I’ve read. Such as looking at a diagram, chart, or drawing that illustrates something in the previous paragraphs.

I would rate this book higher if the facts and information were presented and displayed a bit differently. Still, it’s and instructive, enlightening, and inspiring guidebook.
