Customer Reviews

Useful Compilation
This book is a really useful addition to the web designers arsenal - it's sort of a mix between Designmeltdown.com (created by the author) and www.cssimpress.com - with the best bits saved for this book. If you are lacking the inspiration which you usually have, or if you can't go through the whole of DesignMeltdown's archives - this is for you.

Great Book for Beginners to Experts
I found this book an enjoyable and insightful read. The structure allows you to go back to the book for reference and as the title states gives the reader loads of ideas. I am a creative professional and I am finding this book a good starting point in discussion around issues such as style and how to use colour. Defiantly something I would recommend to fellow professionals.

Good for Inspiration
Not a bad little book, not wonderful but not bad. As previously mentioned by others, it's a collection of websites that reflect the authors ideas of 'good design'.

Not much text, lots of pretty pictures so it will suit some people more than others.
