Summary: More than just typography
Comment: I found this book to be an extremely worthwhile purchase, even though I didn't find the last third of it very useful.
As someone who was previously familiar with HTML and has worked as a computer programmer for several years, this book very much helped me move beyond the coding aspect of HTML and think more about how to design better looking pages.
Typography is part of the book, but it also covers many other topics like layout, design, how to do rollover menus, and cascading style sheets.
The book does have some inaccurate information. For example, the author said that Comic Sans MS wasn't a safe font to use because it might not be on your user's computer, but according to Microsoft it's on everyone's computer (even Macs) unless they are still using IE 3.0 and Windows 95.
This book is highly recommended if you have experience coding web pages, but your web pages are real ugly and don't have that professional look. This book will help you achieve the professional look.

Summary: More than I expected
Comment: Defintely one of the best web design books I've read in a while. My strengths lie in the coding side of web design, so I purchased this book to learn more about typography- as you would expect from the title. I am happy to say that I learned much, much more. You'll find lots of great typography, graphics, and page layout tips. Also, the author conducts some excellent interviews with other professional designers which lead to even more useful tips. Bottom line- a great value, and a must-buy for the beginning to intermidiate web developer.

Summary: Better than I could have ever imagined
Comment: When I bought this book, I was hoping for a great reference book to teach me a bit about picking good web fonts. I thought maybe it could give me some ideas for the sites that I'm working on. This book has done much more than that. Many times when I'm working on a site, something just doesn't "feel" right. The only way that I've been able to fix that has been by redoing the entire site until it does "feel" right. I didn't understand what was going on. Peck has taught me, by using countless real-life examples and full-color screenshots from other professional sites, what was wrong. My wife tells me every day how much better my pages have started to look. Her words: "Your stuff looked good before, but now it looks professional." Buy this book; read this book; do what this book says.
