Do you guys know of any good books or websites that will teach me how to design good grids?

I've never used grids before, just always set stuff out by eye, both for web and print, and I think it's high time I learned to use 'em properly.

Cheeahs!

I heard eMule-Project.net - Official eMule Homepage. Downloads, Help, Docu, News... is a good place to start looking. I have most of my books backed up as digital versions (downloaded ebooks) and sent to separate server.

You probably best buying the book anyway. It's not ideal reading from your computer or printing all those pages out!

Ya, and besides how much cooler will your office look with 3k books lining the walls?

And the only one who knows the real value is you when you try not to throw up your last meal (mashed potatoes).
