I do agree with everything you said as well! I bought in on a trip in October to Paris. Found it in the Centre Pompidou bookstore and just knew I had to buy it (I wouldn\’t find it anywhere where I live). I\’ve been reading it through on and off. The informal tone is my favorite feature as well. I think it\’s a great buy for students like me. I\’m enjoying it reading it all, but I have also found it useful for searching a specific theme.

I was at the shop of the Design Museum the other day and the cover caught my eye from across the room. Liked the size, liked the style and layout and I thought of buying having read extracts from his previous book, which I need to buy as well. At first it does look a bit weird, covering all the areas you might need as a designer, but not in the traditional way – like techniques and tricks. I guess it’s what comes before all that, which makes the difference. Will definitely have it in mind.

i totally agree — picked it up a couple of weeks ago and almost read it through. feels like a more elaborate, indexed version of “how to be a graphic designer …”. good, solid reference.
