I liked the idea of this book. It contains lots of information which is well presented and easy to read. However, it is a handbook and I did find it difficult to use as a complete lesson. I think it is ideal as a reference book for homework or as individual study to supplement a course book. Every unit is separated into a two page explanation followed by two pages of exercises. There is an excellent range of topics covered and some excellent language and writing activities. I loved the mind maps included in every unit to present vocabulary and new ideas.

Transcripts and answer keys are included, as is a CD of the transcripts. The Business English Handbook is aimed at learners of English at an upper intermediate or advanced level.
