| Extremely insightful and easy to understand |
"Letting Go of the Words" is a book that I recommend to all of my new web content authors. It's easy to understand language and visual examples really make this book a great read. I really appreciated the attention to accessibility and usability as well as they are becoming fundamental to good web design. |

| Hang Onto this Book! |
I've worked with a web developer for 2 years, and have stayed on the editorial side. However, now I have more input into the site design, and I'm finding great assistance from Ginny Redish. She's done her homework to help the reader delve into the minds of their site visitors, and thinks outside the normal constraints.
It offers technical assistance without being a coding manual, and for the creative person who is not a coder or developer, this is a terrific tool!
It's not for the programmer who knows the how-to side, but it's for the content and creative person trying to attract the right attention and reach the right people. |

| A must-read for any web developer |
This book should be considered required reading for anyone designing and developing sites.
Most of the websites online do not follow the practices outlined in this book and would be better off if they did.
The book is filled with clear examples and shows bad content and then the ways to improve it.
Great book! |

| First Non-Fiction Book I Couldn't Put Down |
From the moment I started reading this well-constructed, excellently researched book, I couldn't put it down and wanted to know more. The pages are reader-friendly, and lots of good examples make all the author's advice come to life on the page. "Letting Go of the Words" clarifies so many gray areas of writing for the web. I highly recommend this book to anyone who ever has to write anything that will appear on the web, and also to designers who are responsble for setting up websites. Once you read this book, you won't be able to look at any website in the same way again. |

| Very helpful book |
This book is an absolute must read for anyone who develops websites. Ginny Redish provides great examples of web pages and how the visitor is affected by the arrangement of the content. I love the way she presents a website user and allows you to "think" like a visitor. |
