Re: Listing publications on a CV?

["Mike Starr" <mikestarr-techwr-l -at- writestarr -dot- com>]

I don't list the books I've authored as part of the Publications section of 
my resume (although if I had authored any books outside the work environment 
I would). I include an article I published in STC's Intercom magazine. I try 
to make sure I've got a copy of the books I author as part of my work 
obligations to bring with me to interviews.
