This review is from: Fresh Ideas in Letterhead & Business Card Design 3 (v. 3) (Hardcover)

If you've ever had a client that said, "how fast can you design a logo for me?" or, "can you 'whip up' some business cards for me by next monday?" then you know what it's like to have an unrealistic deadline and also be drained of your creative juices.

This book shows some of the best business cards and letter heads you've ever seen. They can really get those creative synapses firing away and get you inspired to develop a new layout you would have never thought of otherwise. I have this book on my reference shelf and I consult it quite a bit. Some (but not all) of the letterheads and business cards identify the type of paper and the cost associated with production which can be very insightful and prevent you from being "too inspired" and go beyond budget.

Superbly done photographs of the materials helps you to almost feel like you can touch the different types of paper. Excellent descriptions are also included.
