I commend this book to all designers and other interested parties who are involved in any form of exhibition design and to all whose interests are concerned with exhibition material for educational purposes.' - - British Thornton

`An essential reference source and guide for anyone seriously concerned with setting up or improving a museum.' - Review of first edition by Richard Gregory, New Scientist

R S Miles is still the 'Best Exhibition Man',
By
This review is from: The Design of Educational Exhibits (Textbook Binding)
The best book I've read on the topics of Design and educational exhibits. He has the right balance of theory and practice which seems to get overlooked with many academics. Miles is still so relevant in 2004 as the day this was published in 1982. I'm still trying to buy a copy in New Zealand to help with my masters degree - titled 'Exposition Design for Emergency Management'.
