This book is a revamping of Price's original book (with a much more appealingly Zen title, IMO) "How to Write a Computer Manual."
It's an excellent book, but I think it's targeted more at somebody who hasn't done this before, and/or who lacks the knowledge of the basic principles of tech writing. I loved it as a newbie, but seldom refer to it now. But I still love the original title - that's about as direct as you can get!
