Dear Friends,

As you may have already heard, the Smashing Book #3 is available for pre-order. Being a successor of our Smashing Books 1 and 2, the third book will be released with an extra book, Smashing Book #3⅓, that offers even more exclusive content and additional valuable chapters of quick quality reading!

We're releasing two new printed books: the Smashing Book 3 and Smashing Book 3⅓. Both are available as a print bundle, as eBooks and as a full print + eBooks Bundle.

Pre-order now and add your name into the printed book: a double-page spread has been reserved to print out all of the names of the pre-sale buyers. We will contact you in March 2012 and ask you for the name you would like to have published within the book. Space is limited, so you'd better hurry up!

What's In The Smashing Book #3?

Unlike its predecessors, the new Smashing Book #3 has a theme: Redesign. It is a professional guide on how to redesign websites and it also introduces a whole new mindset for progressive Web design. The book covers innovative coding and designing techniques, discusses the peculiarities of mobile context and emotional design, and also provides a practical guide to a bulletproof workflow for responsive Web design. The book challenges you to think differently about your work and will change the way you design websites forever. Pre-order now!

Extra Book: Smashing Book 3⅓ — The Extension

We are proud to present an extra book, Smashing Book 3⅓ — The Extension, filled with four additional chapters of quick quality reading!

In this book, we review emerging navigation design patterns and understand how to employ a content strategy — an important process, often underestimated and dependent on many factors. A case study of Smashing Magazine's responsive redesign beautifully illustrates how this approach could look like in practice. You can pre-order the print bundle here.
