I felt that the description of this product is totally misleading and misrepresented. The product description says you get 50 design layouts along with templates so you can take the design and make them your own. What they neglect to tell you is you are only getting ONE template design not 50. Of course you can go to the publisher's web site and purchase the additional templates for hundreds of dollars. So if you are considering buying this product keep in mind you are buying their sales propaganda. If you want to look at the designs just go to their web site and save the $25.00.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, helpful design resource/nicely packaged!, March 16, 2007

I have to say that I disagree with the previous review of this book/cards (See: Not quite what I was expecting) This is exactly what I was looking for as I read the details before I made my purchase. If you have a hands on approach to creating your own design/marketing and are stuck for ideas (I speak for myself) then this book will inspire you to produce a good looking brochure. I've purchased many graphics books hoping to find ideas but found they are too "arty" or not relevant to what I am looking for, but I liked just about everything here. I must admit that I didn't know beforehand that an online template design company published this book, but later visited their site and it's well worth a visit!!! I really liked the packaging of this product too.

This is a cute event, with the designs being on cards, BUT I didn't realize they were going to be from STOCKLAYOUTS, although the designs were nice I wish it wasn't made individually instead anyone can buy it and use it.
