RE: Style Guides

I agree. I've used Read Me First! for years and have found it to be
invaluable. It's the only style guide I use.

This is a link to the Read Me First! book from Sun.

This is an EXCELLENT style guide, and I collect them. (I'm a "how to"
connoisseur. Everyone deserves one vice, right?)

Read Me First! covers so much more than most style guides do, from
writing procedure steps, to creating graphics, to developing a
publications department. I recommend it highly.
