This review is from: Documentation Systems: Clear and Simple (Hardcover)

This book lives up to its billing. It is quite clear and simple and well constructed. It is an easy read, with larger font print and ample use of white space. It "walks the talk" so to speak. Very up-to-date and even addresses state-of-the-art documentaion techniques along with the difficult security issues that such techniques provide in a decentralized envrionment. Chock full of gems about documentation that I hadn't even thought of! And I have been in the business longer than the author!! Good work, James!
