End-of-Year Smashing Books and Workshops Bundle Deals
With SmashingConfs 2024 wrapped up, the recurring conversation among attendees, speakers, and staff has been about what skills to build next year. If your 2025 plans involve deepening front-end knowledge, sharpening design practices, or getting to grips with AI interfaces, the current bundle discounts are worth a look before they expire on Thursday, 5 December.
Build Your Own Book or Workshop Bundle
Until the deadline, you can save 30% when you pick three or more printed books and eBooks, or three or more online workshops. Alternatively, the entire Smashing eBook library — 68 titles in PDF, ePUB, and Kindle formats — is available for $75. The discount applies automatically at checkout for qualifying book bundles; it cannot be combined with other offers.
Hardcover books remain the flagship format, offering practical, industry-sourced insights rather than theory. Choose from the full Smashing Books line-up to complete a collection or start fresh. Orders are shipped worldwide from Germany with free postage, and delivery times can be checked here.
