These types of books are tough, since as soon as you bind them the websites are no longer in vogue. However, I really like the way the book is organized, showing sites by type, design style, theme, color, element and structure. You can look at blog designs, or red designs, or designs that make good use of gradients, and the index is helpful in getting where you want, fast. Lots of Scandinavian sites, interesting.

web designers, web developers
A catalogue of gorgeous web sites organised by layout, colour, style, and function. Not a book you "read", but rather browse through for ideas and inspiration.
I might actually let my clients flick through this book, the way you flick through a style magazine at the hair salon, to help decide what they want!

Color schemes were not accurate and very little was informative. No font suggestions that I could find. But it was a great lookbook.

I enjoyed this catalog and his comments on the different types of design there are today. The sites screenshots are organized by type, color, and style so you can clearly see how similar these sites really are. Love the neat organization of this book.
