Possibly one of the simplest, easiest to read books to introduce the reader to the principles and practices of good computer technical support. 31 years after its publication, I'm still reminding people of The Three Rules: answer the phone, get the caller to the right person, and count the beans. Tech Support really is that simple, but time and again I find organizations and companies that cannot effectively follow one or more of these principles.

Wilson's book is a must-have Bible to have near your desk, along with your ITIL reference handbook, company org chart, SAFe diagram, giant FONE MUTE button, and frustration-relief squeeze toy.
