Jeffrey Zeldman’s New Book
Monday, May 19th, 2003
When it is released (very soon) I really want to get this book. I’m considering putting in an advance order. I get a lot out of Jeffrey Zeldman’s website and other websites he is involved in such as A List Apart (This site is currently on a hiatus for Zeldman to finish the book mentioned above, but should be back soon. It is packed with useful articles already, and though I think I’ve read the whole thing once, I still refer to it.) and The Web Standards Project a great source for following developments in web standards and finding out how to do your part to push for their implementation.
I don’t only read Zeldman for his views on web design. He often mentions important developments in the government as it relates to the Internet or freedom of speech or the press. Recently he has pointed out the impending deregulation by the FCC of media organizations. Current rules prevent the unilateral ownership of mass media. This is a really bad development when it comes to being able to get more than one side to a story, and I would encourage you to let your representative know your thoughts on this before it is too late. (It probably already is, but we should try anyway)
At any rate, I was just wondering how many of the readers of this site are into web design enough to be interested in Zeldman’s new book. It is sure to be full of great material, but would a review of the book here bore you all, or be a useful resource? Let me know ok?
You are aware of the fact that a review copy of this book is available to you right now, aren’t you? I mean, if you are planning to review it here anyway, why not do it for TPC as well?
I’ll take it!

It’s on its way. Lucky for you I read your blog entry before claiming that title for myself.
