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.

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.

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.

Design for HOME PAGE but not inner pages
The whole idea is great when we talk about home page design. And yes if you check his samples carefully, you can easily find out that most if not all are wordpress websites. Read more

Small images of sites
The book includes mainly TOO SMALL images of web sites. Somehow I thinki the variety could be wider, more "indie" and different layouts too. Read more
