Good, recent books for beginners in TW?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Lech Rzedzicki wondered: <<I recently met a couple of folks from a  
brand new technical writing department. They have no prior expertise  
in Technical Writing and have asked for my book recommendations.>>

If they do their own editing and peer review, they'll probably be  
interested in my book. Since that's clearly a self-serving statement,  
I'll direct you to some of the independent reviews (more in the  
works) so you can see what you think before you recommend it: http://

There's also a bunch of useful free information on my site:

Jean Weber also does good work: http://www.jeanweber.com/newsite/
