Summary: A great place to start as a web designer!!!
Comment: This book is both comprehensive and understandable in relating both the importance of typography in web communication and using type/fonts correctly in composing a web site. It gives clear and insightful information about the design and use of typography in some of today's most widely used software. I enjoyed it very much as well as finding it very useful in designing my web pages.

Summary: Poor mixture of worlds
Comment: Unfortunately, the first section of this book is written with "document" cut and pasted with "web design", so the relevance of what is said is limited for a web designer. The CSS guidelines are good, and the text as graphics section adequate.

Rating: 4
Summary: Too heavy on the tech stuff
Comment: An excellent book on beginning typography in general and typography using style sheets specifically. More comprehensive explanations of the use of type and less on the design would have been in order - The average Web designer won't be interested in creating his own font but definitely needs to know how use fonts correctly. All the advocates of graphics intensive (weighty!!) Web pages will definitely be surprised at how a page with few graphics but excellent use of type can be just as visually pleasing. If you don't have a degree in Graphic Design or wouldn't know PhotoShop from the Home Shopping Network, this book is definitely for you
