TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You may want to take a look at the books published by maranGraphics of
Mississauga, Ontario. They aren't completely wordless, but they're probably
about as close as it's possible to get.
Sorry I don't have any titles for you, but they've sold about 4,000,000 books
over the last decade, so they shouldn't be hard to find. (
