I love these books! I have had them maybe 3 weeks so far, but I have gotten so much use from them. Every page has something of use and I love the way the books are organized. I wanted to get all the three books in this kit, so I bought them all together instead of seperately. The case is a great asset to this set. Everywhere I go, someone has to comment on the case. "What is that?" they ask. "That's so cool!" others say. It's really interesting how people are so involved with this nifty box. Must buy! I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

This combination is great. You get the Index, the Color and the Layout all in one. In particular, it has evolutions. It takes a layout, and you watch the progression of it and the different layouts for the same information with differing media.

I didn't realize these books were so small, about 6" tall and come in a little clear case. But the content is great, I love HOW, and i love HOW Design Books. Very idea inspiring, I would definitely recommend, and Amazon sells it for quite a discount.
