Smashing Idea – Lousy Delivery

Back in August of 09, Smashing Magazine, a respected Industry Portal announced the publication of “The Best Practices in modern Web design“. It was promoted that some of the worlds top web designers and programmers would be featured in the book. The preview looked stunning, and immediately, we all said “We have to have it”!!
In all fairness, Smashing Magazine did say, that the book itself will not be printed until September, and would be shipped then, but the ploy was to get in early, and get a bargain purchase price. Given Smashings industry street cred, we did not think that we would be in for what was to be, simply unacceptable delivery of goods prepurchased.
