:: A terrific color reference book is PANTONE® Guide to Communicating with Color by Leatrice Eiseman. I've used her book for inspiration for color schemes and palettes over and over again.

:: Permission Marketing changed the way people look at marketing. It's no longer about trying to compete for the attention of the same audience that everyone else is.. but rather it is about "Turning Strangers into Friends, And Friends into Customers". This is a smart marketing read...

:: I've heard quite a buzz about this book by Jeffrey Veen called "The Art & Science of Web Design". Veen is one of the creators of HotWired.com.

Topics covered: tech history, interface consistency, site structure, interactivity, browsers, performance, web advertising & database-driven content. Worth getting if you manage your own online business presence.

:: This book and finding it an excellent resource, especially for those in transition personally, in their career, etc. Besides, who doesn't want to whistle while you work?

:: If you are looking for a book to give you the ultimate primer on design basics... then look no further than Design Basics by David A. Lauer and Stephen Pentak. This book is comprehensive and you will have a professional level understanding of design principles when you've finished. It is no longer sold in the soft-bound version I have... and has become a textbook. That makes it more expensive - but usually you can find some for sale that are used. The book is worth the money!

:: Beginning Active Server Pages is a book that was recommended alongside of a class that we are taking on Beginning ASP on Barnes & Noble University. It's a great class and a good book for beginners to intermediate ASP users/learners. Give it a whirl if you have been wanted to add to your ASP skills.
