Meant to be a reference for graphic designers, this book has everything but the kitchen sink in it. As I flipped through, I was constantly amazed at how much useful information I was finding. For me, the best parts are about everything to do with printing: paper sizes & kinds, folding templates for folders, envelopes, & packages, binding methods, printing techniques, etc. There's a large CMYK process "color finder" section at the back as well as a glossary of terms.

No, of course it's not exhaustive, but they did a great job of fitting as much information as possible within a book of practical size.

I definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a reference book of this sort.

I'm a graphic design student and have been searching for something that fills in the blanks that I don't learn in school. This is it... from packaging templates, envelope sizes, color guide and just in general good information, it has it all. I go to a school where the graphic design program is sadly not the strongest, and we end up missing out on very important information. This book should aid me in teaching myself the basics.

Great resource for graphic designers. It's not exactly design techniques, but it is knowledge that graphic designers should know about various things like paper, envelope dimensions, mailing, folds, etc. Very important and great reference book. I highly recommend it and it's very organized and easy to read.

Unfortunately, this is the first time I do not receive the stuff I bought from Amazon.
I do not know where it is and how to track the order.

I've always enjoyed browsing through reference books and now I have one specific to design! This book is packed with technical information, and in the rare case that it might not be totally exhaustive, it at least gives me a vocabulary to look for further information in other places. I wish I would have had this book as a student, but even now it's not too late, I love it.

This is a wonderful Graphic Design reference book that you should have at your desk! Great for design consultants, marketing and printers.

Got this book for a class I am taking and it is a great resource for designers. Small chapters with tons of details that are very handy when a job is in process.

Don't buy the Kindle version. It is not in color, rendering the color reference charts useless. Not a good reference source in digital format. I'm sure it's great in print.
Tried to get a refund - still waiting...

So many answers to questions you might ask if you are running a design business.
