I bought this guide because I imagined it to be a tome on formatting issues, with stylistic advice etc. When I started reading it however, I discovered it's actually a guide on handcoding using html. I know this because about 10 years ago I created a website from the ground up, using hand-coding.Ten years on however, there are many cheap applications [which I can't name] that will do all of these design/formatting tasks without the user having to know much more than how to click a few buttons.That said, The eBook Design and Development Guide is going to come in handy as an html reference, and would probably be useful to those writers out there who enjoy getting their hands dirty with the nuts and bolts of ePublishing.As a reference, the Guide is well laid out, well-written, and provides clear instructions.
