Awesome William!

I thought the section on what tools to use was really unnecessary. I do not think a book is a good place to talk about these things because it would get out dated so quickly!

I just read part of the Typography section and I am really enjoying it! Before that, there was a section on handling client, stuff you would want as a freelancer. The basics about typography have been really good so far!

Just finished the book! I loved it! Definitely gives a good foundation for a jumping off point to dive deeper into some of these subjects!

I saw that a couple days ago. Given what I thought of the book, the knowledge that I could have avoided spending over $30 for a print copy is doubly annoying.
