Abstract

The technical writing community is fortunate to have William Horton's book because it is among the first to provide comprehensive, well thought-out advice about the issues writers and online designers face almost daily. But as one reviewer has already pointed out, "gaps exist, and we should be willing to review" Horton's book (Johnson, 1990, p. 181).
