Six detailed chapters take you step-by-step through a third-generation site makeover, creation of a personal page, a storefront, a hotlist, and a gallery.

The book is a bit outdated, but it's still one of the best books to read for anyone beginning web design (or looking for new ideas). If you get it, try to get the second edition.
