As an Industrial Designer, I'm taught a lot of the processes, but it's still great to have a book like this one handy for any project.

The part that I like, however, is that ...             Process: 50 Product Designs from Concept to Manufacture Jennifer Hudson Laurence King Publishers, 2008 This book provides an in-depth study of the creative and manufacturing processes behind 50 contemporary domestic design objects.

As a lover of fashion illustration, with book shelves and file drawers filled to capacity, I highly recommend this book. I like the small size and the fact that it includes examples from all eras.

Despite its title, I was expecting this book to be similar to those other ones, if only perhaps a small step forward in terms of the quality of the information.
