    At last i bought the book

    A while ago I borrowed this book form a fellow designer and checked it out man it is an excellent piece to have. Tried to buy a copy but was sold out. Now finally I bought one. Honestly it is a must have book for all designers regardless.

    This book is great for any designer

    This book is ideal for any designer no matter the type. I am a print/web designer after reading this book, my layouts and ideas have soared to through roof as far as creativity. Great book to have.
