Hello all,

Just a quick introduction, as I am new to the list. My name is Jennifer, and I have been a technical writer for a little over 7 years, mostly contract work in the IT industry which I find fascinating and challenging. Some examples of the types of projects I work on most often include user guides, HTML Help, developers' software/database guides, and software design and testing documents.

My question is what do you consider "must-have" books for an technical writer both generally, and for those specializing in IT?

Thank you!

Jennifer
