I use to own this physical book!!! .. years and years ago (I think around 2008 or 2009). I cite it as my inspiration for a lot of my early designs:

It might seem dated, but the ideas of using images and flowing layout shaped that era, and the simplicity can still be applied today (although we can make it look a lot better and cleaner thanks to CSS grid, flexboxes and other new tech that's now available in most browsers).

There's a lot of good nostalgia here if you go through their older designs.
