Now You Know Zire was the first in a series of companion ‘travel guides’ to the world of palmOne handheld devices. Structured as portable, accessible, and user-centered, they aimed to humanize the devices by directly addressing user needs, with information broken down by task rather than function. Clear signposting and a modular design system gave the books an air of approachability uncommon for product documentation, with expert tips and techniques side-by-side with tutorials and real life scenarios.
