It's unfair to judge this book before reading it, but the web page promoting it reads like an infomercial. Specifically, "You are a designer." and "Save thousands by not hiring a designer." make me feel like there is going to be a chapter about making font size smaller and jacking up leading.

What am I getting by reading this? Is it design basics that let me get started with modifying something? Is it the fundamentals? Is it a rundown of common contemporary design elements that can be combined to make a reasonable looking page?

Professional designers aren't selling overpriced witchcraft.
