The Bible of Internet writing
This is an good book! Very well organized. It can be read word-for-word cover-to-cover OR reviewed quickly for the major points! The information is very accessible because of the presentation: lots of bulleted lists, short paragraphs, and special tips. Also, excellent examples (of both stellar and regretable writing) are given throughout the book. This book has an excellent oranization and presentation, and has different aspects of writing for the Web, including a chapter on editing Web sites, chapters on Web page design and navigation. The book is a little expensive but is ideal for both novices (to learn the basics) and experts to review the rigth way of writing for the web.

I'm an editor and web content producer for several years in Portugal and i find this book like a bible. Some points of this book are a little out of date but it can be a very handy handbook. Even for other languages like portuguese.
