Rating:  - Helpful technical guide
I purchased several copies of this book to use in conjunction with a text we're using in a 400 level Internet Marketing class. The students are expected to prepare a comprehensive marketing plan for internet presence for a company. Web Style Guide has clear, uncomplicated design guidelines for planning - not necessarily execution - of web site development. It contains all the elements needed for simple or complex web site planning.
Rating:  - Book doing a good job in sumaring what a website should do to work

Rating: - Unique features to this Guide
This is a nice source for those of us who wonder how traditional print style guidelines apply to the web.

If you're fairly inexperienced on the internet, and you don't know what "Classic three-column layout" means, then you should buy this book. If you do know what that means, you are probably familiar with the majority of the topics covered in this book. I did not find that the time I spent reading this was well spent because it is very basic. Don't expect too much magic to come off the pages.
