This is a good book for design inspiration. Some of the brochures seem a little dated which is why I gave it a 3. But the principles that you can get frmo it are good.

If you're looking for something to get you inspired, this isn' it. It has some good designs, but nothing that makes you admiring and wishing you had done that. Most are average designs, that offer nothing new. Some are pretty bad, actually, resembling early 90's design. Some are just simple, "text on one page, photo on the other" style. Other books like Best of Brochure Design 9, by the same publisher, are much more enticing. Rockport really struck out on this one.
