    Google’s ‘Book’

    Google’s new fancy web book — “20 Things I Learned About Browsers and the Web”.  I haven’t actually read the book; I’ve been too busy just looking at it.

    • HTML5 + JavaScript
    • Pretty URLs
    • Real browser history thanks to some fancy JavaScript.
    • Non-Flash page animations
    • Content search
    • ‘Resume place’ if you leave the page before finishing
    • Page thumbnails in the footer
    • Table of Things (contents)
    • Light and dark themes
    • Great illustrations

    I can only hope this is somehow a HTML-book framework to be reused. That would be great.

    UPDATE
    John Gruber at DaringFireball has a nice writeup on the book and a few links.
