Why read it?
1 author picked Letting Go of the Words as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I like Ginny’s book because it does a great job of driving that point home and explaining how to cut the text down to what is necessary. It has become a classic in the UX and Web design fields.
From Jeff's list on making digital technology usable and useful.
