    They claim to have sold 10,000 the first month.
    Just wondered if anyone here bought one and liked it?

    Hi,

    I bought the book and my verdict in short: absolutely loved it.

    I would highly recommend the book version. The PDF is just not quite
    the same. This is definitely one the books that I will be referencing often.
    This book is not for everyone.

    It is not one of those books that will teach you HTML or how to use a software.
    It covers the principles of graphics without getting too much into it. It's great
    for people like me, who already know how to code a web site in HTML and CSS
    but have no design flare.

    The book helps me to, at least, come up with my own design that is pleasing
    to the eyes. Because you are taught the principles, you cannot go wrong.
    For example, how to choose color and fonts. How to add spacing to your
    design etc.

    If you're after a full on graphics course, this book is not for you either.

    I think they provide a free sample for this book. You should check it out.
