Summary: Practical Documentation and Planning Guidelines
Review: This book is excellent in educating the new technical writer, but goes deep enough that experienced writers will gain from the wisdom provided in this book.It read easily and you can read a chapter, independent of having read other chapters. Good examples and sound practical information you can use to plan your documents.

Summary: Do you want a good guide to doc management? Buy this book.
Review: This is an excellent source for documentation managers. I was thrust into a managing role after 1.5 years as a technical writer. This book really helped me make a mole hill out of a mountain. My only complaint is the extranious graphics/illustrations (which offer no profound insight or information). These graphics may add white space, making the book less intimidating to the green reader, but this is a specialized topic for a specialized audience, which doesn't need such pedestrian graphics. If you can learn to ignore the illustrations and stick to the content (which is excellent, by the way), this book will help you get a grip on managing documentation.
