I’m always reading tons of design blogs as well as buying books and magazines to gain more knowledge on design and bring fresh ideas to WDD.

A little while ago, I ordered Elliot Jay Stocks book “Sexy Web Design” and after reading it, I thought it would be a great idea if I could bring this book to the loyal readers of WDD.

So, I’ve partnered with the publisher SitePoint, one of the leading resources for designers, to bring this great book to the WDD audience.

Starting today, we’ll be running a 10 day contest here on WDD, where you can win one of 5 free copies of the book that we’ll be giving away. Read more
