I've seen some amazing stuff on the web, but it seems like I have to spend endless hours following random links to find some of the real gems. Shepter's book pointed me to some of the most amazing stuff I've seen. His profiles of the people that come up with these way-out designs add another dimension. If you dig finding cool stuff on the web, and wonder where it came from, and where it might go, you should check this book out.

Bravo Joe Shepter for putting together such a great volume of the best of the new age of artistic expresion. A must read for anyone who's been tempted to dip into this increasingly important medium. It's wonderful to see all of this great work in one volume and readers will be thrilled with the great coverage of this recent art history!

Joe Shepter's book is uncommonly well-written, and is laid out in a manner that not only precisely illustrates the text but is also pleasing to the eye. I could not have chosen a better book as an introduction to what is out there on the web. Furthermore, Shepter's acerbic wit perfectly complements his subject, and he has a light and expert touch. A fantastic book, I highly recommend it for all!

Easy to read and beautifully illustrated, Personal Web Pages does an incredible job exploring the creative people and processes behind these amazing pages. An excellent account of the latest and greatest in modern art!
