Re: Any good books on technical illustration?

Slavko:

I'll tell you about a wonderful, whimsical book by Robin Williams...
I've met her at a conference and in person she's as whimsical yet quite
helpful as she is in her books... and she's written several (many
related to Mac's).
One that comes to mind that you may be interested is _The Non-designer's
Design Book_, which is a slim but information-packed, though I don't
think she says much about cost/time... But certainly information on
design principles and designing with type. The book is is published
(1994) by Peachpit Press, 2414 Sixth St, Berkeley California, 94710; ph
510-548-4393; ISBN 1-56609-159-4; price: US$14.95
Hope this might help,
