The world’s coolest online shopping sites In this latest addition to the Web Design series, we explore the very best of electronic commerce website design. Now that people are using online shops to buy everything from computers to groceries to clothing, e-commerce has become a major player in the sales market—to such a degree that recent research has estimated that about 10% of US “brick and mortar” sales are even influenced by online shops. From small retailers to online superstores, this guide brings you the most cutting edge e-commerce sites on the web today.
I rate this a two because instead of learning how to design write and what works best for users, this book tends to just have very high end sites from large companies that look very cool. It does not delve into success rates, consumer behavior, or any of the details that should be mentioned when the topic of Ecommerce design comes up.

There are some very interesting websites here. However, I don’t know if the book is only in French. While I read a little bit of French, I had ordered the English edition…. Or thought I had.
Oh Wait…. The book is in English, French and German. Each chapter is done in 3 languages. It’s just that the type face size is so small I couldn’t read it…..
Rule 1 about web sites…. If the font is too small to read, few people will read it!!! And these people want to demonstrate good design???

A lightweight read with good insight and info on how the pro’s create websites. Less of a how-to book than a detailed portfolio of interesting case studies including each firms design philosophy for their projects with tools used to build it and in some cases the number of hours it took to complete. (A real eye opener!) Worth the purchase price.

This book is tiny, so you can take it with you wherever you go. It covers some real slick-looking sites, which will definitely give you ideas and inspirations. Before I begin working on a new eCommerce site, I flip through this book. For it’s very reasonable price, I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t want to buy it!

Very good book. After reading this, you’ll know a lot more about web design. Graphics and text OK, not that small. Brief, easy to read, holds your attention.
