18 Professional Design Books for only $25
Normally, I’m not a fan of “Big Bundle” deals, simply because there is always a bunch of filler content smashed in to add perceived value to it. This deal is not like that at all! This massive e-book bundle gives you 18 professional design e-books for just $25. Normally, just one or two of these would cost that much.
Whether you are new to design, or you’ve been around for years, there’s something for everyone to gain from picking up this bundle. From UI design, to writing killer copy, or learning how to run your own design business, this bundle really has it all.
Below are my top picks from the books that you’ll be getting in this incredible deal:
