5.0 out of 5 stars Pocket-sized Inspiration 14 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback
In a nutshell this book is 200 pages of web design screenshots and nothing else. But don't let that put you off as its very handy to flick through for inspiration when you're having a "design block" day. The book contains 89 of the world's best recognised web design studios and 2 or 3 examples of each of their work. Its useful on a number of levels:

1. There is little-to-no text to read, its all about the imagery, so its easy to flick through;

2. The book is small, thin and flexible so its easy to stuff into your bag and carry around with you;

3. There is plenty of variation in the designs and clients to keep you coming back;

4. It gives you a boost if you see one of the world's top design agency's designs and think to yourself "I could do better than that";

5. The little text that there is gives you some idea of what the design house was thinking when they originally came up with the design;

6. Its cheap, cheerful and makes great toilet reading.

There's nothing special about this book, but its small, compact and you'll find yourself coming back to it time after time. Very well compiled.

5.0 out of 5 stars design inspirations from leading firms, in very cheap price 21 Nov 2005
By Satya Witoelar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
if you like web design index or other screenshot collection books, you'll like this one. this time, the designs featured are not from random amateurs, but from almost 100 cool web design firms around the world.

a top-quality taschen design book, in a cheap small efficient package. no instructions or theories? of course, it's just another inspiration book. but what could go wrong with $10?

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool Inspiration 1 Nov 2005
By Greg - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book will more than likely get a lot of mixed reviews. Some will find it positive for its visual content and others negative because it does not tell you how to achieve the look of some of the great sites featured. I personally love to view good design. This book showcases some of the best sites out there. Use this as a visual guide and create some sweet stuff on your own. Besides, when you think of "Taschen" you should always keep in mind that this book will be a coffee table style book. Not a tutorial book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, inspirational 21 Feb 2006
By Dance Ham - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
There is an incredible amount of color and detail put into this book for the $10 price tag.

I've found this to be great inspiration to thumb through before I start a project. A wide range of styles and methods are represented, and the design studio data is very interesting.

Most importantly, it is modern and up to date.

I wouldn't go out of my way to snag a copy, but it's a no brainer to pick up if you come across it in a bookstore.

Coonsidering the price, scope, and presentation, this book easily gets 5 stars.
