An introduction to technical publishing
Anthony H. Firman, L. W. Denton · IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication · 1984
If you're in technical publishing or thinking about getting into it, you'll find much useful information in this book. The publisher bills it as “the first book about technical publishing that takes over where the ‘report writing guides’ end, taking you through the rest of the publication cycle to the printed page.” The author (president of a firm specializing in producing technical manuals for clients) presents a good overview of the entire publishing cycle.
