two new a book aparts

Today I purchased and downloaded the latest two books in the A Book Apart series, just released today: Emotional Web Design by Aaron Walter, and Mobile First by Luke Wroblewski.

This series features well-written, and designed, quick-read books on hot topics related to Web design and development. The effort is spearheaded by Jeffrey Zeldman, long-time leading advocate for Web Standards. I have purchased all but one of the six books in the series in e-book format, so I can read them on mobile devices. Another book in the series, Responsive Web Design has been instrumental in the making of this site, helping me try out a new approach for making Web pages that adapt to desktop, tablet, and smartphone screen sizes through the use of flexible layouts and CSS media queries.
