Title: An Ironically Poor Instruction Book on Instructions
Review: I am a big fan of Wurman's Information Anxiety, where he does a great job of using his text and format to illustrate the points he makes about information. This work is the opposite. It is ironic that a supposed how-to on instructions does not get to any hows by page 54, where I quit reading. This is an almost 400 page tome, and considering the author's reputation as an information presentation expert, it was frustrating to not find quickly, at-a-glance, the locale of the meat of this book. I was plodding through it sure that I would refute other reviewers low ratings, but after falling asleep the second time while reading it, I threw in the towel.
Is the review positive or negative?
