4.0 out of 5 stars Good kickoff, March 12, 2001
By Zeh Fernando (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews
Great for beginners or, as the name implies, as a visual dictionary for clients. If you want to do a good job for your client, discovering *what* your client want is one of the major problems, and this book surely helps.
