John Renish publishes by far the most complete booklist within technical writing. The booklist includes books, tools (incl. software), periodicals, and Internet references (newsgroups, mailing lists incl. TECHWR-L, and ftp/html netsites).

For A4 printout of the books.rtf you need to reformat it to A4 Landscape (Files/Page setup), and then update the list of Contents.
