What I like about the book comes from the perspective of the authors; an English professor (Randall) and a communications expert (December). The book is much more than a list of places to explore or a summary of Web browsers (both of which are covered well) but also excellent design guidelines for designing web-based information. In an upcoming issue of the Labyrinth, we will have a faculty-written review of this book.
