   Con­grat­u­la­tions on the release. I’ve been anti­cip­at­ing it for a VERY long time. Didn’t have the patience to wait for my coupon, so just bought it right away. I’ve read through 120+ pages now in one sit­ting, and I must say: I’m impressed. 

   One issue though: My name is “Mads Kjær” (with a Dan­ish æ) and on the bot­tom where it says “licensed to [name]” my last name is all scrambled (KjÄ|r). I am almost cer­tain this is just an issue with the PHP edit­ing the PDF not recog­niz­ing for­eign char­ac­ters. Just wanted you to know.

   Once again, I’m VERY impressed and look­ing for­ward to see­ing more blog posts about the release.

   Very good book! Con­grat­u­la­tions. I have almost read everything last night. I also like the parts about start­ing your busi­ness a lot. Lots of prac­tical tips. Thanks Mark, succes.

   The book is great Mark. It’s well worth the brew­ing time it’s had as it is a really excel­lent primer for web design. 

   It reminds me a lot of ‘Stop steal­ing sheep’, it’s often simple and access­ible but obvi­ously backed by your know­ledge and rigour as a designer. 

   The whole thing shows great judg­ment in just what to cover too. 

   Now where do I sign up for the grid sys­tems book?

   Just bought it, in work right now so I can’t read it. Been wait­ing for years, what’s a few more hours:D 

   Con­grat­u­la­tions to Mark for get­ting this done and out on his own back:)

   So great news Mark! 

   I’m wait­ing for the coupon to buy a 5 user license. I’m sure this book is going to be a ref­er­ence for every single web designer and for tech people that, like me, wants to know more about the strings behind a web design. 

   As asked before.. is this going to be released in paper (maybe via lulu.com)?  I remem­ber this stated in a pre-launch mail…

    I’ve got the PDF now, couldn’t hold myself ;). Nice work!

    I read in the pre­vi­ous blog entries that a paper ver­sion might be com­ing if the PDF sales go well… Let’s hope for it to happen :) !

    Con­grat­u­la­tions on the book launch Mark! I can’t wait to buy this and get it prin­ted out so I can study in great detail. Nice one!

    Mark, I just down­loaded the book and am very excited to read a design book geared to us web people. 

    BTW — my print designer office mate is curi­ous about the body text typeface. Can you tell us what you used? 

    Thanks again for provid­ing this great resource.

    Just want to repeat what said over at Colly’ site. 

    I have waited for so long to have a book of this type to come along and it doesn’t dis­ap­point. There are a lot of books out there that focus on the tech­no­logy, how­ever few focus on the fun­da­mental design aspects of the web medium. 

    It’s clear also that a lot of hard work was put into writ­ing it, and it cer­tainly was worth the effort. It would be the per­fect lit­er­at­ure to hand out to stu­dents in col­lege or uni­ver­sity who are learn­ing web design as part of their design curriculum. 

    Highly recom­men­ded indeed. Con­grat­u­la­tions, Mark.

    Got my coupon and the PDF. 

    Great read­ing. Was worth wait­ing for this book.

    I have alot of “simple” ques­tions regard­ing the com­pos­i­tion por­tion of the book, is there any plans to have a forum or yahoogroup setup? 

    My ques­tion is are you sup­posed to start design­ing the wire­frames accord­ing to the grid you setup, then con­tinue to design off that. I just did a quick wire­frame not based on any grid. But it looks you start using the grid in the inf archi­tec­ture stage before you get to design. Is this true? 

    The book is great by the way.

    It will be great to have a forum to dis­cuss the vari­ous aspects of design as writ­ten in the book.

    What email address were the coupons send under? I’ve been check­ing my spam folder assidu­ously for days. 

    Which makes me sound very cheap. On the other hand, the col­lapse of the Aus­tralian dol­lar makes a

    Huh. Looks like the com­ment­ing sys­tem choked on the pound sym­bol I inser­ted above. I’d have though Uni­code char­ac­ters would be OK. 

    Any­way, I was try­ing to say that even a 2 UK Pound Ster­ling dis­count makes a major dif­fer­ence given the dis­astrous state of the AU dollar!

    The ebook sounds inter­est­ing. But how can one get a coupon?
