This book is a great read for anyone looking to understand the complex subject of semiotics. The author has successfully balanced such a tricky subject area with an easy to read and comprehensive style of writing and beautiful illustrations.
Semiotics is often mentioned or discussed in other design literature but few rarely venture into the depths of the subject. Crow has done this successfully, providing a detailed introduction to the subject and covering different theories relating to Semiotics.
As with all ava books I have read, Visible Signs is laid out in a beautiful format with useful illustrations and examples. The content covered in the book is well researched and summarised suitably for anybody interested in the subject. I would definitely recommend this book to any designer as it holds relevance in most fields and people studying design... this book is a great place to actually understand what this `semiotics' everyone keeps mentioning is all about.

If you are into methods of marketing and how symbols and words play on each other then this book is for you. I really enjoyed all the images that came along with each chapter. The book is laid out well, divided clearly with each chapter so that it's easy to follow. Definitely a steal through amazon.
