Who let this book go out of print?!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Total Design: Integrated Methods for Successful Product Engineering (Paperback)
Who understands publishers? Just because a guy is no longer alive doesn't mean his words were worthless. With so many badly designed products on the market today, you would think a book like this one, which gives the designer a fighting chance of realising an excellent product, would be in multiple reprints. If you can find a copy of this book, make it your own. This book tells you how products SHOULD be designed. Better still, badger Amazon and the publishers (Addison Wesley - who should know better!) until they reprint it. Pugh's memory deserves the credit, even if the great man is no longer with us.

Excellent.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Total Design: Integrated Methods for Successful Product Engineering (Paperback)
An excellent description of "systematic design procedures & total design rigour". Pugh offers an especially useful methodology for driving conceptual designs toward the best possible solution. This is a good buy.

No doubt a GREAT book! One of my best!,
By Claudiano (Sao Paulo, Brasil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Total Design: Integrated Methods for Successful Product Engineering (Paperback)
Make no mistake here. Total Design is certaingly one of the best books EVER on the subject of product development and engineering design. It is applicable both to students learning engineering design, as well to professionals trying to fix up their PD practice by means of trying to structure the way they develop new and improved product. Get it! Read it! USE IT! You will never regret!
