I would argue against @deathboy's strategy.
Books tend to push trends less, as they have a slower development time compared to a blog or even a magazine. This forces the writers to stick to the principles of design that are consistently popular. At the very least, I find books tend to not have information about some hot new effect that will be passé in a month or two.
As well, it's typical for books to be the result of more people's ideas (editors, multiple writers) compared to any online article. This results in better information. It seems that most book publishers are concerned with providing correct information the first time. With a website, you can simply publish and edit later.
The exception to my argument is wikipedia, which is (of course) written by many people. Although it can be hard to find articles that are helpful, they can be excellent resources when you do find them. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can…
Just my opinion.
