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.
>I use a preface that includes an overview of the
>information contained in the book
This is properly part of the introduction. A preface should contain the
author's message to the reader about the circumstances of the book: Why did
I write it? Whose help do I wish to acknowledge? Stuff like that.
The book should stand on its own without it. ...RM
