Publisher Synopsis
"I recommend this book to anyone interested in writing effective procedural instructions." - Ergonomics in Design, Summer 2005 "[This book] is a thorough, methodical manual, which delivers just what its title promises. The process of this very specific type of writing is clearly laid out in overview and broken down into manageable steps; clearly this same excellent process was utilized in the preparation of this volume. Highly recommended for academic, special or public libraries supporting technical writers and those in need of assistance with developing technical materials; in addition, for its attention to detail and the planning process, this source would likely be useful to anyone who develops instructional materials for any audience." - E-Streams, Vol. 8, No. 1, Jan 2005 "In the past, when I have taught a course on task-oriented communication, I have used a [different] text book . In the future, I will used 'Guidelines for developing instructions' instead." - Technical Communcation, Vol. 52, No. 2, May 2005 Read more...
