2.0 out of 5 stars Publication Design Workbook, September 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Publication Design Workbook (Paperback)
It is almost as though the creators of this book really don't want you to read it. Here they are espousing about the design of publication and this thing is impossible to read. The type is tiny and it is not in black ink but in gray. There are more misspellings than I can count and the layout, in my opinion, is torture. The content may be okay but certainly that can be attained with another book that is readable.

4.0 out of 5 stars great book, in terrible condition, June 17, 2009
This review is from: Publication Design Workbook (Paperback)
I bought this book on Amazon, it's a great reference book for all designers but arrived in terrible condition. I'm actually shocked at 75% of books I order arrived in a thick box that's broken apart without bubble wrap or anything to protect books. most of books got bent corners and were thrown together in an unprotected box, and they look in 2nd hand condition. it's not accceptable. I paid premium brand new book price and recieve books in such condition is a shock, there's no way you could give them as present.
very disappointed.
