Win a copy of Hardboiled Web Design
I’m giving you the chance to win a Limited Edition copy of Andy Clarke’s latest book, Hardboiled Web Design. It really is a great book and I highly recommend that every designer / front-end web developer should have this on their book shelves.
“If you’ve been working on the web for a while, your bookshelves may already be buckling under the weight of books about HTML and CSS. Do you really need another one? …
… Hardboiled Web Design is different. It’s for people who want to understand why, when and how to use the latest HTML5 and CSS3 technologies in their everyday work. Not tomorrow or next week, but today. It won’t teach you the basics of writing markup or CSS, but if you’re hungry to learn about how the latest technologies and techniques will make your websites and applications more creative, flexible and adaptable, then this is the book for you…
… Are you ready to get hardboiled?”
All you have to do is retweet the message below and leave a comment on this here blog post explaining why you should win the book. Be original as possible, be creative, heck, why not even push the boat out and add some humour?
Don’t put things like “I should win because this would mean the world to me” – it’s a book, not an Oscar.

WINNER of the copy of Hard Boiled Web Design that i’m giving away is, according to random.org; @nocturnalmonkey —http://bit.ly/fGlmxu
I should win because I’m driven, motivated, a struggling single mom stuck in a job that has nothing to do with web design (aka soul crushing) and I look super cute in derby gear. http://twitpic.com/3ssw1q
I want one because I already bought one, but I need one to frame for posterity. Plus it looks like I was the 2nd one to retweet this. 2 points for me. Haha.
I’d like – no, need – to have a copy for my office to help push this ideology at my workplace and get my company to dev for the future not the past.
I really wish I win this book, I apreciate Andy Clarke’s work. Thank you.
I just need it. don’t ask any more questions, or the puppy gets it (drops cigarette in the gutter and pulls hat down to cover eyes)
I should win the book since I seem to be the only one able to read the instructions!
I’m saving up to pay for my wedding and have little money to buy my own printed copy :’ (
I really want to know how to properly where a pork pie hat and I’m hoping the book will give me pointers as to the best place to purchase, exactly how rakish said hat should be worn, etc. Plus, who doesn’t love a good mystery.
Oh, and there’s suppose to be some good CSS stuff in there too and I do that for a living so it might help.
I’d like to win this book cause otherwise I’m going to have to buy it and my bookshelf doesn’t have enough quality books about the process of design. I might know a lot, but I don’t know enough!
The sky outside was cold and angry, like the embrace of a bitter lover. Robb sat alone in his office. Driven to the bottle by trying to replicate border-image in IE6, and spending each day chasing deadlines with dialtones, he needed this book.
He needed to change things.
He needed to get hardboiled or all he would have left is a half-bottle of jack and a letter from his sweetheart; sealed with a kiss and a bullet.
Competing this challenge – the hardboiled way
If can give me the limited edition of the book, then consider that I’m the right person to receive it.
If you can avoid competing to this challenge, then just do it!.
I’m starting a graduation project soon and I will have to code a lot of HTML & CSS, so it’d result in me getting a diploma
From what I’ve seen, it’s quite possibly the nicest looking design book available, and would love to have a copy
It’d be nice, and don’t we all need a little more nice in the world?
I should win this book because then @jbertling would be super crazy jealous of me and I could rub it in every single day
I should win a copy because I don’t have one. I think Andy Clarke would want it this way. My Web design is a bit soft-boiled, and it needs some hardening.
My wife didn’t order it in time for Christmas, and I’ve spent the last month depressed, needy, and contemplating .
Help me help myself.
This book would be put in front of all the other books I want to read. It also looks beautiful.
I deserve this because I went to a crappy college to learn web design and I need this book to level things back out. It’ll be like I paid someone else $50,000 for this book…
Because if two guys walk into a bar I want to be the one holding Hardboiled Web Design at face level (reading of course) to soften the blow.
And I want it. Don’t you think I deserve to get something I want?
I need to win a physical copy because I already love the PDF version but it is so unhandy to take my pc with me to bed. @torstennn
I should win a copy of Hard Boiled ‘coz…..
Actually I’ve already got it, never mind.
I need to win a copy of Hardboiled Web Design because having to buy it in my native language would kill me (Hardgekookt web ontwerp) though not as bad as having to buy it in Norwegian
(hardkokt web design)
I want to understand why, when and how to use the latest HTML5 and CSS3 technologies in my everyday work.
This book will make me the real deal from a ‘wannabe’.
I’d like to win the book as I’d like to read it! ~ grin!
Leaky
I should win because i want to be the BEST!
This book will unlock the hidden secrets of design allowing me to progress and level up from meh designer to PRO DESIGNER so i can defeat the next boss (my next client & and by defeat i mean provided an amazing service and produce a website they will love with all their hearts) this book is just one part of my life long plan to be the best! Gotta Catch ‘em all Five Simple Steps!
<3
If I don’t win this book I swear I’ll start mixing my content with my presentation faster than you can sprinkle paprika on Andy’s eggs.
It would be nice if I could win…don’t you think?
EVERY single time I have gone to order this book over the past couple of months I’ve ended up having to pay a few hundred a time on my car and been unable to! And I should win cos I featured you. End of
Good luck to everyone though x
I would like this book as I believe we can all learn something and having people like yourself writing books like this helps us designers better ourselves but mainly produce better work for our clients.
*I take a long, slow drag from my cigarette and toss it, stamping it out with my foot. I blow out the smoke and look at you from under my fedora.
Because I do…
Compared to plenty of other books, web design books are expensive. I am cheap. My local library is as well…the newest web books they have on shelf were published around 2003 (potentially much older). My Google Fu is strong but I much prefer a book.
I’d like to win the book because I want to hardboiled my brain.
And because Andy Clarke is very charming.
“I should win because…”, I’ve been softboiling on the HTML 4.01 / CSS 2.1 plateau for an age and a half and feel it is now my time to stop being a pancake and get hardboiled!
