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.
Whatever the binding you decide on the most important aspect (to me anyway) is
that the book will lie flat. I hate to get a manual that won't lie flat when
I am trying to use the keyboard and refer to the documentation.
We use 3 ring binders (7x9) at Enterprise Computer Systems. It was the
standard when I got here. At my last job at General Electric, we also used
3-rings (8.5x11).
Least favorite: those plastic wrap arounds that the papers slide out of all
the time (seen most on small manuals).
