The structure of the book represents a list of short and capturing practical advices "tips" by 100 graphic designers about their daily work. In this way the book is more about designing than design. Each conversation is provided with a short bio and a link to personal web page of featured designer.
So what really makes a book valuable?
First of all, what I like about this type of book is that you can look through it long after it has been read. In search of inspiration you can open it at a random page and catch your self a good thought or two.
Secondly, a curious reader will get him self a list of great books for further reading not only on graphic design but on philosophy, sociology and marketing recommended by professional design community. To mind comes such titles as "The Art of Looking Sideways by Alan Fletcher", "Interaction of Color by Josef Albers", "This Means This, This Means That by Sean Hall" and many more.
Thirdly, this book has a strong graphical identity that gives you a sneak preview of 100 unique graphic styles. Designers were asked to provide 10 images to go along with every 10 tips. Featured in the book you'll see hand-drawn sketches, low fidelity post-it art, vector graphic and rough typographic visuals.
In the end, I would like to bring a word from the book editor Matteo Cossu: "Knowledge is strength, and freedom is strength. But freedom can only come from the transmission of what we know, from teaching and from passing on the skills that we got from others".
