Many thanks to the people who answered my query about wordless manuals
(with apologies if I left you out of this list):

Suggestions of examples to look at:

Seat cards in airplanes (Nancy Kaminski, Gila Jones)
Public health agencies working in third-world countries (Naomi Kritzer)
Origami books (Jennifer Andre)
Wordless Army materials (Becca)
Lego building block instructions (Win Day, Rogers George)
IKEA furniture assembly instructions (Larry Berlow)
maranGraphics books (Keith Soltys)
Kodak printer instructions (Stephen Forrest)
HP products (Robert Barlow-Busch, Catherine McNair)

Development sequence suggestions:

Sequence of development steps: 1) Definition of information to be
conveyed; 2) logical flow of information 3) unambiguous illustrations.
(Jan Stanley)

Book suggestions:

Books by Edward Tufte (Ruth Glaser)
"The Visual Display of Quantitative Information"
"Envisioning Information"
"Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence
and Narrative"
Books by William Horton (Mary Jean Fitzgibbons)

I'm still collecting examples, so keep me in mind if you come across
anything good.

Mary
