Review: Enlightening and enjoyable read! - Fantastic book which illuminates so much of what we are conditioned to view as acceptable design standards. Indeed, our personal biases and cultural upbringing influence the work we do in such a significant way. A few typos here and there, but otherwise a highly enjoyable and educational read, with lovely examples throughout. I enjoy the size of the book, as it is easy to slip into a purse and read on the daily commute.
Review: A MUST read for designers - In my opnion the most important design book ever!
