The appendix is the best part — 2 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I am quite fond of this book’s appendix. It includes a bunch of wonderful quotes (for example, “The space bar is not a design tool.”), as well as proofreader’s marks and some other useful stuff. However, the book itself isn’t all that useful. The writing is actually quite good, but it’s too verbose and strays away from the point of imparting useful information.

A story about this — 4 years ago

At first I thougt this book was yummy, and a good subway-reading size. The farther I got into it, however, the more disappointed I became. It’s pretty and has some interesting examples, but it’s not really a useful book. And the one purely utilitarian part—the appendix, which includes info on editing and proofreading marks, contains errors.

I might recommend this book to a student who knows absolutely nothing about design, but a reasonably informed design professional may find it stupid.
