Need Advice: Books Every Technical Writer Should Have

["Jennifer C. Bennett" <fritillary -at- gmail -dot- com>]

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
