“This isn’t a book you’re reading. It’s a map…. Web Style Guide will provide you with path through your next project, and introduce you to ideas, concepts, and landmarks you’ll want to revisit.”

—From the Foreword by Ethan Marcotte

Patrick J. Lynch and Sarah Horton have been working together on award-winning interface and graphic design projects since 1991. They began collaborating on Web Style Guide in 1997, moving from a web-only version to print and web in 1999. The print version is in its 4th edition and has been translated into more than eight languages.

Reviewer Edward Tufte called the book “a style guide for the interface with real long-run value,” and the New York Times called the Web Style Guide “an Elements of Style for the Web.”
