Summary: LIKE A BRILLIANT LIGHT. This books stands above the rest.
Review: Perfect! This book is a testament to the years of wisdom of Lynda Weinman's work in multimedia since 1984 at the beginning of the mac. Perhaps it is the holy bible of web graphics. I have read articles she has written in various magazines for the last 5 years and she knows the design issues for multimedia and animation like it's nobody else's business. Never before has someone written about something technical and made it so easy to understand with such clarity and enjoyment. Designing Web Graphics.2 is yet again another masterpiece of research and understanding to working with images on the web. A book a web designer can't be caught without. Find out yourself why this is the bestselling book on web graphics

Summary: Simple, concise, and WONDERFUL!
Review: A joy to read! Never thought you'd hear that about a computer book! Designing Web Graphics.2 is a must for designers, or possibly the staple for the design industry on web graphics. Easy to understand and follow. Lynda uses a lack of sophisticated computer technology in her writing and gets down to the heart of the terms and issues involved in the creation of web graphics design and layout. This book is the tathered dog eared crown jewel upon which I used to advance myself into a larger cubicle. p.s. (Don't even think of it. I take my copy from my desk on trips to the water cooler!)

Summary: A Literal Bible for web designers
Review: I am a full time professional web developer (both visual and web programming) and as far as the visual side goes, this book is a bible. I have never seen a book of such quality in any subject. It explains all the web stuff you need to know, and even some nerdy stuff, like how GIF and JPG compression works so you can make images that compress very tightly. I suggest you guy the newest version of this book, v3 since it will have updated info like flash probably.

If you want to start somewhere start with this one.

Summary: Haven't read the whole book and not sure that I want to
Review: I bought the book on a recommendation. I was poking around, looking at different things, when I happened upon the explanation of hexidecimal [sic] numbers used in html color. She explains that hexadecimal is a base-9 numbering system, when in fact it is a base-16 system. In addition, the chart next to this explanation goes from 0 to E, when in fact, it should go to F. It just proves that she knows nothing about this minor facet of the book, and makes me wonder if the rest of the information in the book is just as off base.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I find that all of Lyndas books are excellent. I have been able to create some wonderful pages on my own by using her examples and following her easy to understand guide lines. There are a lot of Web Design books on the market, and most of them say the same things over and over again. With Lynda's books I know she's telling it like it is in the most easies format possible. Everyone wants to be a star on the internet, and Lynda tells you how to get there the simplest and yet the best creative way possible...Thanks Lynda for be a great source of help and inspiration....

Summary: I have found this book very useful
Review: I own several of Weinman's books and I find them all very helpful. The most useful part for me is the non-dithering colors by hue charts (she also maintains these online). Even if the colors in the book don't exactly match what comes up on the Web, I can get a close enough match with the hex codes she provides. Overall I think she produces a very good series. I have to keep my copies under lock and key at work because they tend to "walk" otherwise. I mention Weinman's books in both of the books I wrote. That should be good testimony!

Summary: Way too artistically oriented
Review: Not being an expert in web design, I purchased this book in the hopes of getting tips and tricks on how to make my graphics and text look good on the web. I read the book cover to cover and extracted extremely valuable information from each chapter. From browser-safe color to effects with graphics, this book tells all in a down-to-earth, humorous style that is quite easy to read. Since the purchase of this book, I've purchased all other books by Lynda. Thank you Lynda for your wonderful insight!
