Software manual production simplified

In the March 1983 issue of the TRANSACTIONS, I reviewed four books intended to instruct writers on how to develop computer documentation. No sooner did the review appear than I discovered another book in this genre by Richard Zaneski. Mr. Zaneski´s book does not cause me to reconsider the earlier pair of books that I described as best buys (Documentation Development Methodology by Sandra Pakin and Associates and The DP Professional´s Guide to Writing Effective Technical Communication by J. Van Duyn). In fact, I don´t recommend that you buy this book. I do, however, suggest that you borrow a copy and take notes on the 30 to 40 pages that are worthwhile.
