We have great news:
the second part of the book “Smashing” is published . We will start taking pre-orders in January 2011 and the book will go on sale in February 2011. We just have to put the final touches on the brand of the new book, and we are sure that it will be a valuable, eternal and accessible book for you, our dear readers, and all the designers and developers around the world.
Faced with great difficulties in the first book, we took into account all the flaws: the second book “Smashing” will have a much better binding, a hardcover, more pages and it will be a little larger.

Our readers are trustworthy.
It is not uncommon for authors to devote their books to people whom they love: relatives, family, or perhaps friends or colleagues. In our case, we would like to dedicate this book to all our readers: you. But we do not want to make this a short admission in the preface. Anyone could do this! We have a better idea.
We would like to print the names of our readers in the book. To do this, we have allocated two pages on which we will print all the names of the readers who will leave a review about this article in the form of the Smashing Magazine logo: Pseudographics in the best possible way! If necessary, we will add two more pages to fit everything.
