It was promptly sent and received. Thanks a million for this jewel!             The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition95 reviews Edward R. Tufte Graphics Press, 2001 Masterpiece of graphic design proves timeless and universal I returned to Tufte's first classic book of graphic design principles over 20 years after first discovering it. At the time, I was the corporate librarian for a major electric utility, and the explosion in the organization and creation of information by individuals with new personal-computer hardware and software was just beginning (I had an IBM PC-XT with 640Kb of RAM and two 360k floppies--no ...             Things I have learned in my life so far38 reviews Stefan Sagmeister Abrams, 2008 Sagmeister Always Rocks Like his first book, this one is filled with clever design details and insights into his process. Unlike the typical designer, Sagmeister speaks of his process in terms that more are akin to self-improvement and self-analysis and than technique, giving us plebians insight into how the master works. A must for any design oficionado.             Meggs' History of Graphic Design34 reviews Philip B. Meggs, Alston W. Purvis Wiley, 2005 AWESOME This book was in amazing condition.

THANK YOU!             Digital Wedding Photography: Capturing Beautiful Memories82 reviews Glen Johnson Wiley, 2006 Photographer I received the book digital Wedding Photography in less than a week and I am so very impressed. Took me three days to finish reading, but so worth it. It had more information than I expected and I will refer back to it many times, because I won't be able to retain it all. Would like to meet the author in person some time and didn't know he lives in the same town as me. I want to learn so much ...             Designing Brand Identity: A Complete Guide to Creating, Building, and Maintaining Strong Brands43 reviews Alina Wheeler Wiley, 2006 Very thorough with great examples I used this book for a graphic design course that I'm taking and it was very informative as well as thorough. It was interesting to read about all of the brand identities and how logos really affect the way a company is viewed. I like the detail, the graphics and the comparisons for the different logos. This helped me in developing a good design for my project.             Envisioning Information51 reviews Edward R. Tufte Graphics Press, 1990 Envisioning Information Book is in good condition, shipped quickly. I am very satisfied with this process and result.             J.C. Leyendecker5 reviews Laurence S. Cutler, Judy Goffman Cutler Abrams, 2008 FIVE STARS!!!! Finally!!! Having waited for YEARS for a good book on Leyendecker, the wait is over. We not only have one but two. I am very happy with this product. The reproductions are very good. While the book does catalog all of the artists covers (SEP, Colliers, etc), the result is well done. Typically, there are nine covers on one page and on the facing page is a repo of the actual artwork from one of the covers. I ...             Universal Principles of Design50 reviews William Lidwell, Kritina Holden, ... Rockport Publishers, 2003 EXCELENT! Simplemente excelente, 100 prácticos tópicos de diseño. Es ideal para los no-diseñadores, que quieren aplicar conceptos de diseño gráfico.             The Design of Everyday Things149 reviews Donald A. Norman Basic Books, 2002 A Must Read for every Designer As a human being we think we know other people and how they see and use products. This book tells many amusing anecdotes about products that were not successful because the designer made the things is a way he would have liked and not in the way real users use it. The book is written full of humor and with real passion for the subject.             Visual Explanations: Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative37 reviews Edward R. Tufte Graphics Press, 1997 another great book by Tufte on graphs In this third book by Tufte on graphics, he provides great examples through history where good pictures conveyed important information to decision makers and bad graphics left uncetainty and indecision. A great success story is the identification of the source of the cholera epidemic in London in the 1850s. With regard to the Challenger Space Shuttle, Tufte suggests that one good picture may have ...             Layout Workbook: A Real-World Guide to Building Pages in Graphic Design14 reviews Kristen Cullen Rockport Publishers, 2007 Check out the whole series! This was the first book that I bought in Rockport's series of graphic design books. It provides great information for designing layouts and even shows examples from real publications. The only gripe I have is the small font was a bit hard to read in a dimly lit room (but most trendy publications are that way now). But despite that, the book is still readable in good lighting and provides ...             Fashion Artist (Fashion Design Series)18 reviews Sandra Burke Burke Publishing, 2006 Oh, how I wish I had this in school! I wore holes in piles of paper trying to work up to the basic points so magnificently outlined in this book! It's like having an art teacher with you (without the snide remarks) to bring your abilities to the top. If you are planning on studying fashion, or just doing it for fun, you need this book. Highly recommended!             Time Bandit: Two Brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs48 reviews Andy Hillstrand, Johnathan Hillstrand, ... Ballantine Books, 2008 Great book This book can hardly be laid down, which is surprising for its genre. It was received in the condition advertised.             Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual12 reviews Timothy Samara Rockport Publishers, 2007 Well written and fun! Amazing book by Timothy. It's perfect for young designers, unlike myself, who need to learn basics in graphic design. As a more experienced professional I had fun reading the book and I'm gonna keep it in my office for use of all new interns so they find out a little more by themselves. The only downside I see is the small grey texts, but fortunately my eyes are still in perfect conditions.             How To Be a Graphic Designer Without Losing Your Soul20 reviews Adrian Shaughnessy Princeton Architectural Press, 2005 A very good read for aspiring designers This book is a must-read for recent design school graduates and aspiring designers. It provides useful insight into the world of graphic design--the ethics of being a designer, different ways designers can work, how to get a job, and the creative process. This book also features interviews with designers.             Mechanika: Creating the Art of Science Fiction with Doug Chiang10 reviews Doug Chiang Impact, 2008 cool...

Arrived within 8 days of placing my order and i used standard delivery. Superb. This book is a natural progression from Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain by the same author. It's a shame that it's only available in the USA. Lived up to my ...             Guidelines for Online Success5 reviews TASCHEN America Llc, 2008 Finally a book on design philosophy Like the author said in the book, this is not a for Dummies book. It is a book though that is needed more than phyically being skilled to create a site. It's one thing to know how to physically put together a website but its a nother thing to create a website that gets attention. This book is filled with expert advice from various web design gurus across the world. And I must say that this ...             Confessions of a Street Addict166 reviews Jim J. Cramer Simon & Schuster, 2002 The Cramer You Never Knew This is a great book. I've watched Jim Cramer on television, but never knew the whole story. From his days working as a reporter, to his time at Harvard Law School, on to Goldman Sachs, and eventually his own hedge fund. This is an up close and personal look at one of America's favorite money men. I highly recommend this book.              search for books beautiful, brothers, building, capturing, complete, confessions, deadliest, designer, designing, elements, envisioning, everyday, evidence, explanations, fingerprint, guidelines, hand-made, information, leyendecker, maintaining, mastering, mechanika, narrative, photography, principles, quantitative, quantities, real-world, universal, workbook books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
