My advice to all HN readers, forget the 37signals/internet self help books and order designing design.
One of the questions most often asked is: How do I become a better web designer?
The answer is to get inspiration from sources outside of the Internet. Design books that talk about theory will do more for oneself in the longrun than more CSS galleries.
