I recommend "Technical Editing: The Practical Guide for Editors and Writers"
by Judith Tarutz, 1992. It wasn't published recently, but it is still an
excellent reference. It is currently available from Amazon for $35.02.
Read the customer reviews on Amazon for a more thorough commentary than I
have time for here.

Subject: User Documentation Book Suggestions
Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the editing field, and I'm looking for a book on editing for
user documentation, preferably one that has been published recently.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you so much!
Best,
Naomi
