Repeating something from a previous Hacker News thread...
Children's publisher Usborne have made available for free some classic computer books from the 1980s aimed at kids that use text and illustrations to clearly explain computer concepts.
These books have been discussed a few times before here on Hacker News. Scroll down to the bottom of the link below to the section 'Usborne 1980s computer books' for the free PDFs.
You might be thinking, why would I read books aimed at kids? Not only are these books well written with clear, concise explanations, they are also more readable and enjoyable than many programming books published for adults today.
Anyone writing a technical guide (of any kind) would benefit from reading these as a source of ideas and inspiration.
