Book Recommendation

Picked up this book at the weekend (along with one on E-Commerce from the same series). Details are:

Author: Julius Wiedemann
Book: Web Design- Best Portfolios
Publisher: Tachsen
ISBN: 3822840432

As a bit of a random, it may help a few people when looking for inspiration to do with portfolio sites. The book is basically a directory of brilliant web-sites (with screenshots) and a small description about them...a catalogue of the best of the best so to speak.

If you are not overly creative like me, sourcing ideas from things like this is a really blessing. Definately going to implment a few creative ideas into my web-sites in the future

For reference the book cost me £4. Yes you can find similar online, but its not possible to look through them when your sat on a beach in Spain It will be the only time I will get chance to have a look at something like this!
