This is a wonderful, hardback book with hundreds of inspirational designs. Unique, attractive business cards presented in an artful layout with plenty of white space. An excellent reference and idea source.

This review is from: Best of Business Card Design 8 (No. 8) (Hardcover)

Despite its really ugly cover, this book contains a large selection of beautiful and clever business cards from many different disciplines. Though not all of the designs seem worthy of being printed in a book, there is plenty of inspiration here: colors, shapes, die-cuts, materials, or even just different ways of presenting contact information. While most of the cards come from image-conscious industries like design and fashion, not all, and I'd love to see even more diversity in future books. With so much f*ugly, ad-hoc crap in the world, it's refreshing to see, say, a construction company with a beautiful logo and card (e.g. Measure Twice - p. 63).

I didn't expect much out of this book when I saw it on Amazon. In fact, I didn't expect much text and it's just that. Consider it more of a picture book that is there to inspire. It does just that b/c every time I need some creativity for business cards, I open it up!
