In my web design work, I'm constantly looking for ideas. This entire series of books is filled with screen shots of hundreds of interesting web sites (including URLs so you can visit the sites displayed). Text is limited to brief captions on each site. If you are looking for a "how to" book, forget this. This book is for visual inspiration and stimulation only. But's that's a big 'only'. I own perhaps a dozen books of web imagery, but this series is easily the best for the price. If you need visual inspiration for web design, you can't go wrong.

I knew very well that when I bought this book it was only for inspiration. And that's all it is. But when I purchased the other book in the series "Navigation 2" site unseen, I got ... .... This book contains approximately 75% of the Splashpage book. Image for image. The people from Rockport should be ashamed for trying to pull such .... I won't even attempt to look at the rest of the series.

As far as the review. There is no "in-depth" text examining the pages. 1 paragraph of someones opinion of how it looks.

Also the publisher review states "Offers inspiration as well as informative text on the design process and tools used to achieve the final design."

Uh-no. There is no mention of design process or tools used.

This is just my opinion. I could be wrong.
