I also
started "Writing Software Documentation: A Task-Oriented Approach". Can
anyone provide comments on this
book?

The book is an invaluable reference. If you haven't written task-oriented docs before, it will turn on the light bulb in your head so that you can understand how documents of that kind should be written. I rely on a lot of developers and analysts to write sections of our documentation, and the concept of task-orientation is hard for them to understand. I only wish that I could explain it to them as well as this book does!
