This was a pretty harmless book. Several of my classmates pointed-out a collection of typographical errors; we had whole discussion of how copy editing is a lost art and how even small errors hurt communication ability. This is ironic considering the entire chapter on the importance of communication in management.

That said, this text was the best organized and most focused portion of this class.
