Sure, this book could inspire great designs, but so could a box of chocolates. It's more of the same. It simply doesn't rise above all the mediocre titles available on the market. Recommended if you're trying to build a sizable graphic design library, but if this is the only layout resource/inspiration book you might buy, think again.

I really like this book a lot. I am currently building my graphic design library and feel this is a great addition. The layouts are all very intersting and there are a lot of great ideas. When working on a new project I will flip through this book to help me spur new ideas and sketch them out. This book has been indispensable. I am giving it 4 stars (and not 5) because I wish it was longer!

An interesting book at best. If you are looking for a book filled with page layouts and designs that market themselves only to the trade, then this one's for you. I agree with the review that suggests this book as a great addition to your library of graphic design books . . . however, I did not find it to be helpful in developing page layouts for real life clients. It IS a wonderful collection of cutting edge design but it misses the mark for designers needing inspiration for down-to-earth and corporate-type clients.
