This is one of three textbooks required for a class that I'm taking. It was a last minute "add-on". The class is in its 5th week and we have yet to even open this book for the class. I would not have purchased this book had it not been required. And having read through it, I still would not have purchased it.

This books is WAY too general in it's discussion of Web Design. If you're looking for something that's focused 100% on the theory of web design, this book might be for you. If you're looking for any sort of how-to at all, this book is NOT for you. I purchased this book as a textbook for a Web Site Administration class and I'm wondering why it was even required.

This book covers the basics of web design and goes into detail about what makes up a good website, how to write for the web, how the Internet and the world wide web work, and several other topics. It's perfect for those who are considering a degree or career in web design. The only problem is the book's resources. While it provides a lot of good online material, the review materials won't give you the right answers to the questions and can be tedious to work with.

I have received my textbook in the allocated time indicated. In fact it arrived earlier than I expected.
The book was ordered new, but no wrapping. It was like pulling it off the self from a book company.
