Lines: 15 For you technical writers out there (and any other writer, for that matter) a great handbook to own is called "The Technical Writer's Handbook - Writing with Style and Clarity" by Matt Young. I purchased it through the following address: University Science Books 20 Edgehill Road Mill Valley, CA 94941 (Sorry - can't find the scrap of paper with the phone # on it.) It cost me $27.50 (including shipping). It's well worth it. I also have the AP Stylebook and Libel Manual, the LA Times Stylebook, and Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, but I find Young's book to be the most useful for the writing I do.
