This book is a wonderful resource for designers, graphic designers and anyone searching for the best web design companies.
It lists quite a few US based companies that are raising the standards, I visited some the sites and was pleasantly amazed by their portfolios.
Web design has come a long way since we all knew a cousin, neighbor or friend who could "build a website", now we finally see a great breach between true designers and developers, and those who put information together and place it online.
The book gives plenty of great options and serves as a studying tool, and reference for designers seeking great inspiration. It is fascinating!
