Frankly, this one is a slight disappointment. I bought this one thinking it would be as good as Looking Good in Print by Roger Parker, but I found it to be shallow and the author to wander off track into non-design related areas.

I just started Web Development and I thought this book has been very helpful (I checked it out at the library first) and am now purchasing it to have on hand for the future!

Ok, where do I start? Perhaps with the lack of examples and lack of source code? No... I'll start with the fact that this book at many instances talks about stuff that you could do to your web page, then shows a pretty picture, then goes on without even telling you how to do it! What! I spent $30.00 on a picture book of the web! If I didn't throw my receipt away, I would have immediately returned it along with a harsh scolding, but I did so I guess I'm now stuck with a pretty paperweight. If you need some pointers, go look somewhere else, if you want to look at pretty pictures, browse through this book, then go somewhere else. But whatever you do, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
