Can you give me a link to some of these titles?

They sound similar to the Delta Business Communication Skills series.

Here you are.

I've tried a few of their older, but I'm not a big fan of Cornelson. I've come across quite a few Denglish expressions in their books, and their schoolbook-like approach is not really my cup of tea.

Hi Ralf,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. By the way, can you open their sample PDF files? Slava and I have tried to so and we keep getting the error message "file is damaged".
Regards,
Torsten

Hi Torsten

I opened Adobe Acrobat first (I have an ancient version -- 4.0) and then I was able to open the downloaded PDF file.

Their site is so extremely slow that it's not worth my time.
