If found this book to be a very useful and interesting book. Even though it’s not the newest web design book you can buy, it’s still very useful. The book features 50 sites and every page is in color. BUY IT, trust me, it’s worth it.
Rating: 5 / 5
The book (1998) predates the Graphis Interactive Design Annual series, and is perhaps it’s weakest book on Web design.
There is little organized structure to the book. Obviously a great deal of effort went into the design of the pages of this book, but at the expense of actually showing the Web page designs it is supposed to celebrate — parts of Web pages are vignetted or even taken out of context, removing components of the design from its page.
While all the selected site are interesting, and good “art,” they are not good design. As a survey of Web sites from 1998, it is an interesting book, but u will gain no insight into innovative communication solutions on the Web.
Seek out Graphis’ Interactive Annuals or DesignAgencies.com, for better surveys of design on the Web.

This book is fantastic! It gives examples of early postmodern web design and in itself is interactive with a flip book. The author and designer is Robert Appleton who is Internationally known and is a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale. This is a book for serious web designers and design collectors. I highly recommend getting this book.
