As expressed in the title, Dolores Lehr has a specific purpose for her book. Her approach to technical communication is to treat text and graphics as a comprehensive unit rather than let graphics play second fiddle to the text. Lehr follows through, with this concept by being generous with graphics, using them in conjunction with text to explain important aspects of technical communication, features of specific documents, and even the mundane side of writing. Overall, the book is an excellent introduction to document planning and creation for novices and a good reference book for more experienced writers. -- Sherry Shadday, Technical Communication [Volume 57, Number 3]
