You can preview the contents online from this Google link.
An issue here is that there are a heck of a lot of books on the subject written by American authors - this one (I don't think) is.

thats very helpful buildermate,

do you mean it is not from america? i was thinking about that issue as well, there should be different usage in english and american working environment, so i was looking for an english version.

[buildersmate]

Poor English on my part (need to read the book, obviously). Yes, that's what I meant.

Ask your library for Pitmans typing excersises....most of them are business correspondence with some legal docs to type. Gives you a grounding for commercial documents.
