Re: Good books....

For design books I liked "The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams,
and "Making a Good Layout" by Siebert & Ballard, and of coarse "The
Interaction of Color" by Josef Albers.

For web books without a doubt it's "Webmaster in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly
it has all the syntax to everything you need. Their Javascript book is also
very good.

Subject: Good books....


Hi all,

As a newbie to the list (and in all other web design respects) I'm not sure
if this question belongs here, but I couldn't see anywhere else better
suited....  If I'm OT, please bear with me.

Having written a few pages/sites on a purely hobby basis, I'd now like to
progress a bit further and I wonder if anyone out there can recommend some
good books to pick up.  For the last year or two my "bible" has been the
"Web Authoring Desk Reference" by Hayden Books, covering (the then newly
finalised) HTML 4.0 & 3.2, DHTML, CSS, etc.  However, things have no doubt
moved on from the time I bought it, so I would appreciate suggestions for a
new reference work that is up to date.

I'm also on the look-out for good books on design (or books on good
design...).  My one aquisition so far is HTML Artistry: more than code, by
Ibanez & Zee, which I've found to be excellent.  However, it too is now a
couple of years old, and again something a bit more up to date would no
doubt come in handy.

Any help and suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
