I picked up Designing Web Graphics.3 as soion as it hit the stores, but haven't looked at it a great deal yet. Has anyone else bought it, and if so, is it worth the price? (It's more than $50USD.)

Written by whom? You mean the one by Peter Kent?

Sorry that wasn't particularly clear. No, I'm talking about Designing Web Graphics, by Lunda Weinman. It's a rather gigantic book, actually, and covered a very wide range of topics, including Flash and imaging programs for Web graphics. I keep meaning to haul it out so I can write a proper review, but the darn thing is so huge.

*ahem* DAMN thing. An "edit" key is on my wish list. :)

I don't remember seeing that particular book (I've probably seen or skimmed it in a bookstore at some point), but I have yet to see any "web graphics" book that provides anything more useful than "GIFs for small graphics, JPGs for big graphics." And at $50, I'd be especially wary of buying that sucker.

Lynda Weinman is one of the best authors out there for web design. I have DWG.2 and a few others of her books, and have found them helpful over the years. Also, as 40-60 bucks is standard for such books (except for the excellent Nutshell series), I wouldn't discredit her over the price. Though I don't have my hands on .3 yet, I give anything Lynda's done two thumbs up. Go read that book, E!

I find all her books well worth the money. I hope to be training under her this Winter.
