Coffee table web design

Grabbed these two books off the shelf in the public library because the covers and titles looked interesting. They’re definitely “coffee table” books – glossy, well laid out, striking design. Contentwise they’re light and fluffy (and being books about the web a little dated). What is really, really good about them is the showcase of web sites that each has in the back. Great books for looking at 30-50 web sites to see what things you like or don’t like, different colour schemes and navigation layouts.

Worthwhile getting out from the library and skimming. Probably not worthwhile buying them. There’s also a web site related to the series over at – www.designdirectories.com.
