Summary: Great resource for ideas.
Comment: When I am designing a new site, it always helps to scan through this book for inspiration. Every time I do, I always get at least 1 idea.

Summary: Good but not Great
Comment: I found this out of the blue in a bookstore the other day and managed to finish reading it in quick time.

For those of you looking for complete instructions (html, flash codes etc) on how to make a website for musicians, this is not your book. What this book is actually is a collection of works that the authors of the book have made (it takes up about 80% of the book's space.) The book is also multilingual whether you need those extra translations or not.

It introduces the general style and feeling that the author uses. The beginning of the book contains a extensive documentation of how [...] was renovated by the developers when the singer was promoting her Confessions on a Dance Floor album, it also has a few more that I can't remember off the top of my head which it explains about. The section then ends with an interview with the author, after that it has many screenshot pictures of the websites that the author has made in the past years but no commentaries or anything (which was rather a downer).

Most of his works will be quite familiar to the audience if they happen to be audiophiles or just web junkies in general. This is a rather enlightening read if you're ever in lack of inspiration for designing web in general or just need to be in awe. The material used to make the cover is really nice, and pocket sized, so its a nice read anywhere.
