5.0 out of 5 stars Great Source of Material, July 21, 2008

I always look forward to "The Big Book of Logos" series. This is a wonderful source to "go to" when our designers need inspiration for a new job. The images are large enough to see the details, that's important. Our firm has been in three out of five books. That tells us that there is some credibility with the Carter-Stephens team, not everyone gets in! Keep up the good work!

Book came quickly considering it was right around the holidays. I didn't realize it was a hardcover book and was quite happy when I discovered it was. I've got no complaints!

I am very pleased with the condition of this book.
It took very long to arrive and was not useful to the project I wished to use it for however.
Next time, I'll try to plan much further ahead.
