First Class book for Web Typography

OVERVIEW: "Typogrpahy: The Best Work from the Web" showcases 100 Web sites where typography is the dominant design element. The entire book is color on glossy paper with crisp, clean graphics. The authors added information next to each Web site--title, URL, design firm, and, where appropriate, names of designers, editors, illustrators, programmers, and so on. The authors also included a paragraph analyzing the typography for each Web site. OPINION: The two main components of Web page design are artwork and typography. This book excels at showing a rich diversity of Web pages specializing in typography as a design element. This book is not a primer listing the basics of typography, rather, it is a beautiful collection of interesting uses of typography from a rich variety of Web sites. I think this book should be in every Web designer's library as a great source for generating ideas.
