But, just as there is with most things, there is always room for improvement.
With the help of readers and authors we have discovered another 9 free web design books we felt were worthy enough to bring to your attention, you will find these book below.
Just as with the previous Free Web Design Book Article, I have not offered a critique of each book, as I feel that would not be fair on the author. If an author spends so much of there valuable time (in some cases months and months) and writes a detailed book on web design, in my eyes they deserve only praise and appreciation. I hope you find these books useful.

Data Structures and Algorithms
Author: Granville Barnett and Luca Del Tongo.
About the Book: Put simply this book is the result of a series of emails sent back and forth between the two authors during the development of a library for the .NET framework of the same name. The conversation started of something like "Why don't we create a more aesthetically pleasing way to present our pseudocode?" After a few weeks this new presentation style had in fact grown into pseudocode listings with chunks of text describing how the data structure or algorithm in question works and various other things about it. At this point we thought, "What the
heck, let's make this thing into a book!"
