Web Interface handbook - 200+ tips and tricks for creating a good web interface.

wow I like this book

That's one hell of a lovely handbook. Great tips and visually very pleasant to the eye!

It's nicely designed and has some good information & tips. But it states opinions as principles, often saying "this is what should always be done" rather than "this is useful in these circumstances", with some examples going against web usability principles. While useful for inspiration, don't apply the techniques blindly. Use to expand your design palette, not to restrict it.

From the screenshots, I like the label on search box example, but only when there's enough space for one...

Seems like I missed the train... The book is no longer free, and I can't afford it x) However from the preview it looks terrific !

It's tagged as 'Free' on PH and there's a price tag of over $20 on their website. It's misleading. I get it, you give a free chapter, but it is not at all a good way of attracting people to the product
