Abstract
These four new books can be divided into basically two groups. The Skees and Van Duyn books are reference handbooks that give the reader a generalized view of good documentation. These books claim to enable the data processing documentation writer to handle any and all problems that can arise in the area of writing. They begin with a section on the mechanics of writing and some considerations of general document development, and they conclude with a quick overview of how to apply these general considerations in some specific documentation situations such as reports, procedures, manuals, proposals, or technical articles for publication.
