good Help book?
I read the Official Microsoft book on Help Authoring, which is unfortunately hopelessly out of date to be of any practical use in the current world of Help 2 and various Visual Studio.NET IDE editions. Is there a recommended text for beginners?

Unfortunately, there is very little on the market that would help you with MS Help 2.x authoring. The best sources for information on MS Help 2.x authoring are the documentation in the VSHIK and VSIP products available for download for VS2003 here:

and some excellent tutorial information from one of our MVPs here:
