This is the "completely revised" third edition; nevertheless, this revision dates back to the early 2000s. It still focuses heavily on print layouts rather than principles of web design, so bear that in mind if you're planning to read this. I would also have preferred actual examples of well-laid-out pages rather than line-drawing mock-ups. ( )
