[Sigia-l] The IA of writing (question)

[gunnar at langemark.com]

Although english is not my native language, I will give it a try.
Others have suggested Strunk and White and Williams. Both excellent choices if You are interested in actually writing.
My understanding of Your question is a little different and so my answer is too:

May I suggest that You pick up Karen A. Schrivers book \"Dynamics in Document Design\".

This review tells it all:
\"What a refreshing book to show data of real people reading real documents. Eat your heart out Saul Wurman, Ed Tufte, Bob Horn and other pretenders who claim their design ideas captivate the reading public and then provide not a shred of evidence to support their speculations. Every serious designer and writer should read this book. \"

This is a book - not about the act of writing, but about those tasks related to writing that are like the tasks of the Information Architect regarding the building of a website.




----- Original Message -----
Could anyone recommend books that talk about writing in a way that is
related to IA (even without reference to IA), or simply recommend books
about writing?

Have a nice day
