Sometimes it is nice to have a book that points out the obvious. You can be too close to a problem to notice the obvious.
Unfortunately, this book is too obvious. And it is all fluff with no substance. Wait you say. This is a design book, what do you want? Code?
I really wanted to design. So where is it? Between the pages that tell how to use exotic tools to do what HTML can? Or is it between the lines that keep emphasizing speed? Or is it that this is one big advertisement for the contributors? Oh well, it makes you look scholarly to have this book on the Koffee table.
