Book Reviews of The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this clearly-written well illustrated book. It's well paced, increasing in complexity as it goes along. I have stickies all over and keep going through it again and again, each time finding new and useful suggestions. I have several web design and CSS books, but this one is my favorite.
