good if you are creating your own website
This book is good if you are creating your own website and want to learn more about how to do it. I have found this useful alongside other books as well and also doing a course about Website Design. The book has 500 key points about design. I didnt understand them all the first time I read it but after studying the subject for a while I have found the book is also useful to go back to. It is also very attractively laid out and also has nice screen shots of existing websites for you to look at. Very useful but you will probably need some other books as well but the same could be said for all website books - I havent yet found the one and only "stand alone" website design book !
