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.
Someone else will probably be able to give you the
more correct terms, etc., but there is a type of
binding that *looks* like perfect binding, but is
actually "loose", so your book stays open as if
it was spiral-bound. Talk to your printer -- they
can probably suggest some other alternatives.
